Indiana University - Indiana Mathematics Initiative Partnership

该项目是由印第安纳州布卢明顿大学和九个城市学校公司（印第安纳州倡议数学联盟）之间形成的伙伴关系提出的。 各区共有126所小学（57所一级）、36所中学和24所高中，为超过115，000名学生提供服务。 有两个主要重点：（一）为教师和校长的领导干部提供全面的专业发展;（二）确保所有IMI地区将从大学对中小学教师职业培训的重大改革中永久受益。 具体而言，该伙伴关系是在国际数学联合会的扫盲计划和国际数学学院各地区之间建立联系，以提高各地区吸引和留住合格数学教师的能力。（390名小学和60名中学教师）有效地试点数学课程，由合作伙伴选择，以符合国家学术数学标准，以提高学生的成绩。 该项目将使用学生在国家ISTEP评估考试中的成绩数据，作为衡量小学试点项目有效性的主要标准。 第二个组成部分是高中计划，确定了一个由90名高中数学教师和30名八年级数学教师组成的领导干部。 这些教师将在他们的教室里试点选定的单元，以便使目前的课程更好地符合国家标准和国际教育和培训计划。

The project is proposed by a partnership formed between Indiana University-Bloomington and nine urban school corporations, (the Indiana Initiative Mathematics Consortium.). There are a total of 126 elementary schools (57 Title I), 36 middle schools and 24 high schools in the districts serving over 115,000 students. There are two major foci (i) providing comprehensive professional development for leadership cadres of teachers and principals; and (ii) insuring that all IMI districts will derive permanent benefit from a major overhaul of the preservice preparation of elementary and high school teachers by the university. Specifically the partnership is to establish linkages between IU's preservice program and IMI districts to enhance the ability of the districts to both attract and retain qualified mathematics teachers.One component of the project is the identification of a leadership cadre (390 elementary and 60 middle grades teachers) to effectively pilot a mathematics curriculum, selected by the partners for its alignment with state academic mathematics standards, in order to improve student achievement. The project will use student performance data on the state ISTEP assessment examinations as a major measure of the effectiveness of the elementary pilot project. A second component is the high school plan with the identification of a leadership cadre of 90 high school mathematics teachers and 30 eighth grade mathematics teachers. These teachers are to pilot selected units in their classrooms in order that the current curriculum is better aligned with state standards and ISTEP.
