The East Alabama Partnership for the Improvement of Mathematics Education has been formed to improve mathematics education in 12 school districts in East Alabama with the support of Auburn University, Tuskegee University and other partners. This partnership is guided by the belief that the low mathematics achievement in its region can be solved through a multidimensional, coordinated effort focusing not only on the schools, but also on the universities' teacher preparation programs as well as community and parental factors. The partners emphasize that they can accomplish more in collaboration than can any one member individually. Indeed, the project has developed an innovative approach in which the districts pool their limited resources and are thus able to operate, in some respects, as one large district. Together, the districts in this partnership serve roughly 56,000 students who are growing up in an environment that is rural, very poor and heavily African American (48% of the student population). Over five years, the project expects to impact over 1700 K-12 teachers of mathematics in the partner schools. The East Alabama partnership is committed to ensuring that all students in the region receive an equitable mathematics education by participating in a rigorous curriculum that is taught by highly qualified teachers who use a variety of instructional practices designed to promote student learning and understanding. The project seeks to achieve its aims by using methods shown to improve mathematics education elsewhere and adapting them to the circumstances of East Alabama. The project will sustain its efforts by building the long-term capacity of the system to provide quality education in mathematics. At the school district level, new curriculum guides will be developed and textbooks selected, forming a foundation for achievement. The project will provide administrator training and support to help administrators develop a more supportive attitude toward mathematics. An emphasis on building internal capacity through teacher leaders will create a generation of leaders in mathematics education. Finally, the partnership of mathematicians and mathematics educators from Auburn University and Tuskegee University is expected to significantly alter their teacher education programs in order to produce the qualified and diverse teacher workforce for the future..

在奥本大学、塔斯基吉大学和其他合作伙伴的支持下，东亚拉巴马数学教育改善伙伴关系已经形成，以改善东亚拉巴马12个学区的数学教育。 这种伙伴关系的指导思想是，该地区数学成绩低的问题可以通过多方面的协调努力来解决，不仅关注学校，而且关注大学的教师培训计划以及社区和家长因素。 合作伙伴强调，他们可以完成更多的合作比任何一个成员单独。 事实上，该项目制定了一种创新的办法，使各区集中其有限的资源，从而能够在某些方面作为一个大区运作。 共同，在这个伙伴关系的地区服务约56，000名学生谁是在农村，非常贫穷和严重的非裔美国人（学生人口的48%）的环境中长大。 在五年内，该项目预计将影响合作学校的1700多名K-12数学教师。东亚拉巴马伙伴关系致力于确保该地区的所有学生通过参加由高素质教师教授的严格课程获得公平的数学教育，这些教师使用各种旨在促进学生学习和理解的教学实践。 该项目旨在通过使用方法来实现其目标，以改善其他地方的数学教育，并使其适应东亚拉巴马的情况。 该项目将通过建设该系统提供优质数学教育的长期能力来维持其努力。 在学区一级，将制定新的课程指南，并选择教科书，为取得成绩奠定基础。 该项目将为管理人员提供培训和支持，以帮助管理人员培养对数学更支持的态度。 强调通过教师领导者建设内部能力，将培养一代数学教育领导者。 最后，数学家和数学教育工作者从奥本大学和塔斯基吉大学的伙伴关系，预计将显着改变他们的教师教育计划，以产生合格的和多样化的教师队伍的未来。
