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

“所有中学生课程选择方案”中心侧重于与实施五个国家综合中学数学课程方案有关的问题，以此作为在学区内启动系统变革的一种手段。 这五个方案是：Contemporary Mathematics in Context; the Interactive Mathematics Program; MATH Connections; Mathematics：Modeling Our World; and SIMMS Integrated Mathematics. COMPASS的结构包括一个中心站点和五个卫星站点，每个站点用于一个课程方案。 中央网址的主要职能是向各有关方面介绍这些课程，通过帮助各学区制定实施计划来协助它们发展变革能力，并协调各附属网址对补充资料和援助的要求。 卫星站点的主要目标是提供针对具体课程方案的信息，并协助学区制定针对具体方案的实施战略，包括教师的专业发展。 所有六个网站的工作都涉及与学区、地区和州各级的决策者以及家长、企业和社区领袖合作，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.
