Rural Systemic Initiatives in Science, Mathematics,and Technology Education - RSI: Southern Colorado Rural Systemic Initiative

SCRSI是UCAN-RSI的一个分支。去年作为实施奖尝试失败，但已被重新设计和重新考虑为发展奖。SCRSI总部设在南科罗拉多州农村的亚当斯州立学院，计划通过18个学区、两个合作教育服务中心(BOCES)董事会、两个地区援助中心(RAC)、两个专科学校和两个四年制学院的合作伙伴关系来改善科学、数学和技术教育。这些学区包括经济困难地区的47所K-12学校，大约有12,000名学生。学校里超过75%的学生是西班牙裔。这47所学校是圣路易斯河谷、阿肯色河谷和中南联盟三个联盟的成员。SCRSI有四个主要组成部分：1.建立一个基础设施，以管理该项目并完成整个已建立的联盟的工作范围。行动：建立现场领导小组、联盟领导小组和项目领导小组。完成对个别学校的现场分析，以确定优势和劣势，以指导未来的实施战略。行动：完成关于每所学校全面实施和评估的矩阵，进行教师调查和学校走访，汇编和分析学生数据。在区域各级的学校、伙伴关系和网络之间建立强有力的合作。行动：召开团队会议和三次战略规划会议。制定由所有合作伙伴支持的执行计划，包括具体的伙伴关系承诺。行动：提交一份报告并提出一项执行计划。

The SCRSI is an outshoot of the UCAN-RSI. Unsuccessfully attempted as an implementation award last year, it has been redesigned and reconsidered as a developmental. Anchored at Adams State College in rural Southern Colorado, the SCRSI plans to improve science, mathematics and technology education through a partnership of 18 school districts, two Boards of Cooperative Educational Service Centers (BOCES), two Regional Assistance Centers (RAC) 2 junior colleges and 2 four-year colleges. The school districts encompass 47 K-12 schools in an economically disadvantaged area with approximately 12,000 students. Over 75% of the students in the schools are Hispanic. The 47 schools are members of three coalitions, the San Luis Valley, the Arkansas Valley and the South Central Coalitions.There are four major components to the SCRSI:1. Creation of an infrastructure for managing the project and completing the scope-of-work throughout the established consortium. Action: Establish site-based leadership teams, Coalition leadership teams and project leadership teams.2. Completion of a site analysis of individual schools to identify strengths and weaknesses in order to direct future implementation strategies.Action: Complete matrices on full implementation and assessment at each school, conduct teacher surveys and school walk-throughs, compile and analyze student data.3. Establishment of strong collaboration across schools, partnerships and networks across all levels of the region.Action: Conduct team meetings and three strategic planning meetings.4. Development of the implementation plan supported by all partners including specific partnership commitments.Action: Submit a report and propose an implementation plan.
