Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education: Advancing the Work of COMPASS: A Secondary Mathematics Implementation Project

“面向所有中学生的课程选择计划（COMPASS）”中心关注与实施五项国家综合中学数学课程计划相关的问题，作为学区内启动系统性变革的一种手段。五个项目是：语境中的当代数学；互动数学项目；数学关系;数学：模拟我们的世界；和SIMMS综合数学。COMPASS的结构包括一个中心站点和五个卫星站点，每个站点对应一个课程项目。中央网站的主要职能是向各选区提供有关这些课程的信息，协助学区制定实施计划，以发展变革的能力，并协调卫星网站对额外信息和援助的要求。卫星站点的主要目标是提供具体课程计划的信息，并协助学区制定具体计划的实施战略，包括教师的专业发展。所有六个站点的工作包括与学区、地区和州各级的政策制定者合作，以及与父母、企业和社区领导人合作，因为他们寻求建立或理解这些课程中体现的教育改革。

The "Curricular Options Programs for All Secondary Students (COMPASS)" Center focuses on issues related to the implementation of five national comprehensive secondary school mathematics curriculum programs as a means of initiating systemic change within a school district. The five programs are: Contemporary Mathematics in Context; the Interactive Mathematics Program; MATH Connections; Mathematics: Modeling Our World; and SIMMS Integrated Mathematics. The structure of COMPASS includes a Central Site and five Satellite Sites, one for each curriculum program. The primary functions of the Central Site are to inform various constituencies about these curricula, to assist school districts in developing the capacity for change by helping them formulate an implementation plan, and to coordinate requests for additional information and assistance from the Satellite Sites. The primary goals of the Satellite Sites are to provide curriculum program-specific information and to assist school districts with program-specific implementation strategies, including professional development for teachers. The work of all six sites involves working with policy makers at the school district, regional and state levels, as well as with parents, businesses and community leaders as they seek to institute or understand the kind of educational reform embodied in these curricula.
