The MSTP Project: Mathematics Across The MST Curriculum

MSTP项目：贯穿MST课程的数学正在改善纽约10个学区的中级数学教学。核心合作伙伴包括霍夫斯特拉大学、纽约州立大学石溪分校、纽约州教育部和10个长岛学区(Amityville Union Free学区、Brentwood Union Free学区、Freeport Central学区、Hempstead Union Free学区、Longwood Central学区、Riverhead Central学区、Uniondale Union Free学区、Westbury Union Free学区、William Floyd Central学区、Wyandanch联合免费学区)。核心合作伙伴和支持合作伙伴正在开发和实施一种模式，以增加教师队伍的多样性；加强大学教师对中学改革、学习标准和评价的认识；提高中学数学、科学和技术教师对数学内容和教学方法的理解改善数学、科学和技术学科之间的课程衔接。MSTP包含三个组成部分：(1)校本教师和高等教育教师协同专业发展；2)课程修订与衔接；3)招收数学、科学和工程专业的少数族裔本科生从事教学工作。该项目将建立10个合作学校支持小组，每个小组由两名大学数学、科学或工程教员和五名学区人员组成，其中包括中学数学、科学和技术教师、一名中学校长和一名负责家庭和学校倡议的人类服务专业人员。支持合作伙伴包括长岛地区学校支持中心、合作教育服务委员会、科学、数学和技术专业教师协会、布鲁克海文国家实验室和艾森豪威尔地区数学和科学教育联盟。预计每年将直接聘用300名教师、20名高等教育教员和1.2万名学生。

The MSTP Project: Mathematics Across the MST Curriculum is improving teaching and learning in middle-level mathematics in 10 school districts in New York. Core partners include Hofstra University, State University of New York at Stony Brook, New York State Education Department, and 10 Long Island school districts (Amityville Union Free School District, Brentwood Union Free School District, Freeport Central School District, Hempstead Union Free School District, Longwood Central School District, Riverhead Central School District, Uniondale Union Free School District, Westbury Union Free School District, William Floyd Central School District, Wyandanch Union Free School District). Core and supporting partners are developing and implementing a model for increasing the diversity of the teaching workforce; enhancing university faculty's understanding of middle school reform, learning standards, and assessments; increasing middle school mathematics, science, and technology teachers' understanding of mathematics content and pedagogy; and improving curriculum alignment among the mathematics, science, and technology disciplines. MSTP integrates three components: (1) collaborative professional development for school-based and higher education faculty; 2) curriculum revision and alignment; and 3) recruitment of underrepresented minority undergraduates in mathematics , science, and engineering into teaching careers. The project is establishing ten Collaborative School Support Teams, each consisting of two university mathematics, science, or engineering faculty and five school district personnel including middle school mathematics, science, and technology teachers, a middle school principal, and a human services professional who will provide leadership for home and school initiatives. Supporting partners include the Long Island Regional School Support Center, Boards of Cooperative Educational Services, professional teacher associations in science, mathematics, and technology, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the Eisenhower Regional Alliance for Mathematics and Science Education. The partnership expects to directly engage 300 teachers, 20 higher education faculty, and 12,000 students per year.
