This proposal was submitted to request support to provide Technical Assistance (TA) for urban districts that comprised the remaining portfolio. Recognizing the importance of reform at all levels of a district, the Education Development Center (EDC), will focus on efforts that directly impact classroom instruction. The aim is to sustain accomplishments and advance the knowledge based at the level where it is most vulnerable. Thus, for a period of two years, (beginning January 2004 through January 2006), EDC will provide activities and events aimed at improving teaching and learning for all students in science and mathematics. TA will be provided through the use of face-to-face training structures, online approaches, and localized consultation that enhances the impact by combining approaches.The TA will focus on the following three areas:1. Supporting and sustaining the teacher leader model in science and mathematics, K-12;2. Sustaining students' engagement in high school science and mathematics while advancing their enrollment in rigorous courses; and3. Ensuring science is on the "front burner" in classrooms, schools, and districts, K-12. Intellectual MeritBuilding on research findings, EDC plans to provide specific activities and organize conferences aimed at improving teacher quality and building leadership for change. Several strategies will be used to help districts bring about that change. First, teacher leaders will be targeted to help sustain and advance their work in classrooms throughout the SI districts. Second, EDC will focus its efforts on help the USPs' continuing struggle to bring about change at the high school level. Third, an effort will be made to include science more centrally in local district reform efforts. Finally, EDC will attempt to gain a better understanding of how to organize and implement TA such that the lessons-learned might contribute to future large-scale reform efforts.Broader ImpactThe utility of the multi-tiered design will increase the number of people who will have access to lessons-learned and better ensure widespread use of best practices. The products, resources, and advances in knowledge in science and mathematics will help the SI and well as other districts meet other national and state requirements such as No Child Left Behind.

提交这项提案是为了请求支持，为构成剩余投资组合的市区提供技术援助(TA)。认识到地区各级改革的重要性，教育发展中心(EDC)将专注于直接影响课堂教学的努力。这样做的目的是在知识最脆弱的层面上保持成绩和促进知识的发展。因此，在为期两年的时间里(从2004年1月至2006年1月)，EDC将为所有科学和数学专业的学生提供旨在改善教与学的活动和活动。助教将通过面对面的培训结构、在线方式和本地化咨询来提供，通过结合方式来增强影响。助教将专注于以下三个领域：1.支持和维持K-12科学和数学的教师带头人模式；2.在提高学生就读严谨课程的同时，保持学生对高中科学和数学的投入；以及3。确保把科学放在教室、学校和学区的“首要位置”，从K-12。智力价值根据研究结果，EDC计划提供具体活动和组织会议，旨在提高教师素质和建立变革的领导力。将使用几种策略来帮助学区实现这一变化。首先，将针对教师领袖，帮助维持和推动他们在整个SI地区的课堂工作。其次，EDC将集中精力帮助美国高中继续努力实现高中水平的变革。第三，将努力将科学更集中地纳入地方地区改革努力。最后，EDC将努力更好地了解如何组织和实施技术援助，以便吸取的经验教训可能有助于未来的大规模改革努力。广泛影响多层设计的效用将增加获得经验教训的人数，并更好地确保广泛使用最佳做法。科学和数学方面的产品、资源和知识的进步将帮助SI和其他学区满足其他国家和州的要求，如不让一个孩子掉队。
