Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education: Newark Public Schools Systemic Initiative In Mathematics

“纽瓦克公立学校数学系统倡议”是一项针对K-8数学的为期五年的地方系统变革项目。与高等教育合作伙伴罗格斯大学和蒙特克莱尔州立大学合作，该项目将在三个广泛的领域产生变化：在纽瓦克的每个K-8数学教室中实施和制度化基于标准的课程、教学和评估；现有数学资源教师骨干、K-8教师和管理人员的专业发展；以及与家长、高等教育合作伙伴和社区机构的密切合作。项目对象为1040名小学教师、260名中学教师、30名数学资源教师和60名学校管理人员。教师将参加为期两周的暑期课程，每月的后续课程和大学的数学/数学教育课程。此外，教师将得到持续的基于课堂的工作支持。数学资源教师将接受专业发展，以提高他们为课堂教师提供教学支持的能力。学校管理人员将参与专业发展，以提高他们对当前数学教育实践的理解，为领导和支持基于标准的数学教学提供基础。项目合作伙伴还将开发课后中心，作为大学合作伙伴、未来教师、本科生/研究生、课堂教师、数学资源教师、管理人员和家长之间合作的实验室。

The "Newark Public Schools Systemic Initiative in Mathematics" is a five-year Local Systmeic Change project targeting K-8 mathematics. In association with higher education partners Rutgers University and Montclair State University, the project will effect change in three broad areas: the implementation and institutionalization of standards-based curricula, instruction and assessment in every K-8 mathematics classroom in Newark; professional development for the existing cadre of mathematics resource teachers as well as K-8 teachers and administrators; and intensive collaboration with parents, higher education partners and community agencies.The project targets 1040 elementary teachers, 260 middle school teachers, 30 mathematics resource teachers, and 60 school administrators. Teachers will participate in two-week summer institutes, monthly follow-up sessions and mathematics/mathematics education courses at the universities. In addition, teachers will receive ongoing classroom-based support for their work. The mathematics resource teachers will receive professional development aimed toward enhancing their ability to provide instructional support to the classroom teachers. School administrators will participate in professional development to enhance their understanding of current mathematics educational practices, providing a basis for leadership and support of standards-based mathematics instruction. Project partners will also develop after-school centers to serve as laboratories for collaboration among unversity partners, prospective teachers, undergraduate/graduate students, classroom teachers, mathematics resource teachers, administrators and parents.
