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

该项目涉及修订互动数学计划(IMP)，这是一个由加利福尼亚州和国家科学基金会资助开发的为期四年的综合、以问题为基础、大学预科的高中数学课程。修订将建立在该计划的成功要素的基础上，以适应不断变化的数学教育背景的方式。修订将集中在三个目标上。首先，课程将通过做出改变，给予课程更大的灵活性来加强。这将通过增加一个主要的技术组成部分，并通过对内容进行修改以响应最近的国家和国家政策文件来实现。其次，专业发展计划将通过培养更多专业发展领导者的领导力计划以及通过阐明IMP成功职业发展愿景的职业发展手册创建一致性和可持续性来加强。第三，将通过编写关于IMP各个方面的新材料来加强传播和实施工作，这些材料将向学校董事会、行政人员、家长和教师等教育决策者提供信息并解决他们的关切。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一般评估，并分析修订后的课程材料的数学内容。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.
