The Merck Institute for Science Education (MISE) and additional Core Partners including the Educational Testing Service (ETS), Kean University and four urban school districts in New Jersey (Elizabeth Board of Education, Hillside Public Schools, Linden Public Schools and Rahway Public Schools) provide intensive, sustainable, systemic reform with the vision that all middle school students understand and are able to apply key concepts in mathematics and science. Goals for the project are: Implementing challenging instructional programsBuilding professional capacity in schools, the University, ETS, and MISEDeveloping leadership among teachers, administrators, and University facultyDeveloping a student-centered learning climate in every classroom, andBuilding parent and community support.The project is focusing on the urgent need for well-prepared and supported middle school mathematics and science teachers via an array of coordinated efforts that address candidate recruitment, teacher preparation, and support of teachers in schools. A common set of standards based instructional materials in mathematics and science is selected and implemented at Grades 6-8 in all districts ensuring content rich and challenging courses for all students. A curriculum audit for assessing level of implementation is developed. A collaborative assessment Plan that includes a standards based state-wide assessment is administered to all students at Grade 8, nationally-normed, objectively scored, standards-aligned, assessment are administered to all students grades 6 and 7. Collaborative wide end-of-unit assessments including objectively scored and free response items including performance tasks are administered to all students. ETS assists in developing performance assessments.Professional development schools are established in partner districts. Districts identify and address professional development needs of all teachers and administrators to support effective implementation of instructional materials. Professional development is continuous and ongoing with participation by university faculty and content experts from within P [MS] 2. Attention is paid to teacher induction through mentoring and coaching. A middle school Mathematics and Science Endorsement is developed and implemented by Kean science, mathematics and education faculty, preparing candidates with the content background and knowledge of middle school instruction needed to be effective educators in middle school science and mathematics. Project goals are realized through all project activities, in that a strong emphasis is placed on developing capacity and creating a continuous learning culture within each partner organization and promotes teacher retention. Collaborative activities have an extensive research component, and results are widely disseminated. Project activities address the needs of underrepresented students and provide strategies and models for increasing achievement and participation of all students in mathematics and science.

默克科学教育研究所（MISE）和其他核心合作伙伴，包括教育考试服务中心（ETS）、基恩大学和新泽西的四个城市学区（伊丽莎白教育委员会，希尔赛德公立学校，林登公立学校和拉威公立学校）提供密集，可持续，系统的改革，使所有中学生理解并能够应用数学和科学中的关键概念。该项目的目标是：实施具有挑战性的教学计划在学校、大学、ETS和MISE中培养专业能力在教师、管理人员和大学教师中培养领导力在每个教室中培养以学生为中心的学习氛围，和建立家长和社区的支持。该项目的重点是迫切需要良好的-通过一系列协调一致的努力，为中学数学和科学教师做好准备和支持，这些努力涉及候选人招聘，教师准备，以及对学校教师的支持。在所有地区的6-8年级选择和实施一套基于标准的数学和科学通用教材，确保所有学生的课程内容丰富和具有挑战性。开发了用于评估实施水平的课程审计。一个合作评估计划，其中包括一个基于标准的全州评估是管理到所有学生在8年级，国家规范，客观评分，标准对齐，评估是管理到所有学生6年级和7年级。合作广泛的单元结束评估，包括客观评分和自由反应项目，包括性能任务管理给所有学生。ETS协助制定业绩评估，并在伙伴地区设立专业发展学校。地区确定并解决所有教师和行政人员的专业发展需求，以支持有效实施教学材料。专业发展是持续不断的，由大学教师和P [MS] 2内的内容专家参与。通过指导和辅导，重视教师上岗。一个中学数学和科学背书是由基恩科学，数学和教育学院开发和实施，准备考生的内容背景和中学教学的知识需要在中学科学和数学有效的教育工作者。通过所有项目活动实现项目目标，因为重点是在每个伙伴组织内发展能力和创造持续学习的文化，并促进留住教师。合作活动有广泛的研究内容，研究成果得到广泛传播。项目活动解决代表性不足的学生的需要，并提供战略和模式，以提高所有学生在数学和科学方面的成绩和参与。
