New Jersey Math Science Partnership

新泽西数学和科学合作伙伴关系（NJ-MSP）将罗格斯大学，罗文大学和基恩大学与12个学区联合起来。 其中八个地区是新泽西长达20年的雅培诉伯克案的30名原告之一，最近受益于州最高法院下令的补救措施。 新泽西州-MSP内的12个地区被描述为中小城市地区，贫困，少数民族和低成就的学生人口。 合作伙伴的学校招收了75 000多名学生，其中27%是非洲裔美国人，31%是西班牙裔。 NJ-MSP的目标是：1。 通过（a）努力为每个学区制定和实施战略计划;（B）努力发展内部领导结构和实践来实施战略计划;以及（c）提供精心设计的持续专业发展，提高伙伴学区所有K-12预科学生在科学和数学方面的成绩并缩小成绩差距。 通过以下方式增加和保持伙伴学区K-12学前数学和科学教师的数量、质量和多样性：（a）为潜在教师提供经验，帮助他们将教学视为一个有吸引力的职业;（B）通过重新调整大学数学和科学课程，提高副教师的内容知识;（c）为新的初中和高中教师开展上岗培训。 通过（a）分析学生成绩的变化和（B）记录项目活动来记录成果。

The New Jersey Math and Science Partnership (NJ-MSP) unites Rutgers, Rowan and Kean Universities with twelve school districts. Eight of the districts were among thirty plaintiffs in New Jersey's 20-year-long Abbott vs. Burke litigation, and have recently benefited from remedies ordered by the state Supreme Court. The twelve districts that come together within NJ-MSP are characterized as small- and medium-sized urban districts with poor, high-minority and low achieving student populations. The partners' schools enroll over 75,000 students of whom 27% are African American and 31% are Hispanic. The goals of NJ-MSP are to:1. Increase achievement and reduce achievement gaps in science and mathematics for all preK-12 students in partner school districts by (a) working to develop and implement strategic plans for each district; (b) working to develop internal leadership structures and practices to carry out the strategic plans; and (c) providing well-designed, continuing professional development.2. Increase and sustain the number, quality and diversity of preK-12 teachers of mathematics and science in partner school districts by (a) providing potential teachers with experiences that will help them see teaching as an attractive career; (b) improving preservice teachers' content knowledge by reshaping university math and science courses; and (c) carrying out induction programs for new middle and high school teachers.3. Document outcomes by (a) analyzing changes in student achievement and (b) documenting project activities.
