Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education: IMP for the 21st Century

该项目涉及修改交互式数学课程（IMP），这是一个由加利福尼亚州和美国国家科学基金会资助开发的为期四年的基于问题的综合大学预科高中数学课程。修订将以该计划的成功元素为基础，以应对不断变化的数学教育背景。修订将集中在三个目标上。首先，将对课程进行调整，使课程更具灵活性，从而加强课程设置。这将通过添加一个主要的技术组件，并根据最近的州和国家政策文件进行内容更改来实现。第二，专业发展项目将通过领导力项目加强，培养更多的专业发展领导者，并通过专业发展手册建立一致性和可持续性，阐明IMP成功的专业发展愿景。第三，将加强传播和实施工作，编写关于儿童教育干预所有方面的新材料，使教育决策者（如学校董事会、行政人员、家长和教师）了解并解决他们所关心的问题。这些努力将在一个基础广泛的指导委员会的指导下进行。将对所有项目组成部分进行总体评价，并对修订后课程材料的数学内容进行分析。费用分摊包括出版商和旧金山州立大学的大量捐款。

This project involves revising the Interactive Mathematics Program (IMP), a four-year, integrated, problem-based, college-preparatory, high-school mathematics curriculum developed with funding from the State of California and the NSF. Revisions will build on successful elements of the program in ways that respond to the changing context of mathematics education. The revisions will focus on three objectives. First, the curriculum will be strengthened by making changes that give the program greater flexibility. This will be accomplished by adding a major technology component, and by making content changes that respond to recent state and national policy documents. Second, the professional development program will be strengthened through leadership programs that produce more professional development leaders and by creating consistency and sustainability through a Professional Development Handbook that articulates IMP's vision of successful professional development. Third, dissemination and implementation efforts will be strengthened by developing new materials about all aspects of IMP that will inform and address concerns of educational decision makers such as school boards, administrators, parents, and teachers. These efforts will be carried out with the guidance of a broad-based steering committee. There will be general evaluation of all project components, as well as analysis of the mathematical content of the revised curriculum materials. Cost sharing includes substantial contributions from the publisher and from San Francisco State University.
