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方案(COMPASS)”中心关注与实施五个国家综合中学数学课程方案有关的问题，以此作为在一个学区内启动系统性变革的手段。这五个项目是：上下文中的当代数学；交互数学计划；数学联系；数学：为我们的世界建模；以及SIMMS集成数学。COMPASS的结构包括一个中心站点和五个卫星站点，每个课程计划一个卫星站点。中央网站的主要职能是向各参与方通报这些课程，通过帮助学区制定实施计划来帮助它们发展变革能力，并协调卫星网站提供更多信息和援助的请求。卫星网站的主要目标是提供课程计划的具体信息，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。所有六个网站的工作涉及与学区、地区和州各级的政策制定者以及家长、企业和社区领导人合作，帮助他们制定或理解这些课程中体现的那种教育改革。

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.
