The MSTP Project: Mathematics Across The MST Curriculum

MSTP项目：MST课程中的数学正在改善纽约10个学区的中级数学教与学。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，以及10个长岛学区(阿米蒂维尔联合免费学区、布伦特伍德联合免费学区、自由港中央学区、亨普斯特德联合免费学区、朗伍德中心学区、Riverhead中央学区、尤尼代尔联合免费学区、韦斯特伯里联合免费学区、威廉·弗洛伊德中心学区、怀恩丹奇联合免费学区)。核心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；提高大学教师对中学改革、学习标准和评估的理解；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；以及改善数学、科学和技术学科之间的课程协调。MSTP包括三个部分：(1)校本和高等教育教师的合作专业发展；(2)课程修订和调整；以及(3)招募数学、科学和工程方面未被充分代表的少数民族本科生进入教师职业生涯。该项目将建立10个协作学校支持团队，每个团队由两名大学数学、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公共服务专业人员，他们将为家庭和学校的倡议提供领导。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。这一合作伙伴关系预计每年直接聘用300名教师、20名高等教育教职员工和12000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.
