The Collaborative Evaluation Communities in Urban Schools (CEC) project will create school-based collaborative evaluation communities to achieve the following goals: 1. Improve the evaluation capacity of urban schools. 2. Develop graduate level educational leaders with the knowledge and skills to evaluate science and mathematics programs. 3. Provide teachers of science and mathematics professional growth by improving their capacity to use evaluation data and engage in continuous improvement and data based decision-making. The collaborative evaluation communities created by the CEC project will serve as professional growth activities for science and mathematics teachers, and as training grounds to help graduate students develop evaluation skills. By engaging schools in evaluation the team will assist teachers and graduate students in the collection and analysis of data, the examination of student assessment results, the evaluation of school programs, and the analysis of science and mathematics instructional practices. The CEC project will assist partner districts in the creation of an evaluation culture designed to support the continual evaluation of programs with the ultimate intent of improving the educational opportunities for all students. Intellectual Merit:The CEC project will create a total of eight collaborative evaluation communities over the three-year grant period; four collaborative evaluation communities in the Kansas City, Kansas School District and four in the St. Paul School District. The collaborative evaluation communities will be co-led by a faculty member and a lead science or mathematics teacher in the schools. The faculty will also help supervise graduate students in each community who will help lead and develop the collaborative evaluation community. The lead teacher will serve as the liaison between the university and other classroom teachers who are in the same school as the lead teacher. There are various ways that the collaborative evaluation communities can interact, and it is expected that this project will inspire new ways for the schools and universities to collaborate on evaluation activities. The use of collaborative evaluation communities to build evaluation capacity in urban schools is a unique and important activity for the field of evaluation. The schools are in need of teachers who can use evaluation and assessment data to make decisions regarding science and mathematics education. The CEC project will advance knowledge and understanding of how to help schools engage in evaluation. The investigators are very well qualified to design and implement the CEC project. They have extensive experience in the field of science and mathematics program evaluation, and will be able to use this experience to develop graduate students and help schools engage in evaluation. In addition, the CEC project will be externally evaluated by an expert in the field of science and mathematics program evaluation. Broader Impact:The activities of the CEC project will advance discovery and understanding regarding the use of collaborative evaluation communities for teachers in urban schools. In addition, the CEC project will promote teaching, training, and learning for graduate students. The CEC project will broaden the participation of underrepresented groups by enhancing the evaluation capacity of teachers in urban schools who serve a diverse student population. The investigators on the CEC project also have the ability to recruit graduate students of diverse backgrounds. The results of the CEC project will be widely disseminated to the education and evaluation community. The project has great potential to benefit society by developing the evaluation capacity of urban schools, and by developing the evaluation abilities of graduate students who can go on to serve society. All in all, the CEC project will create lasting collaborative evaluation communities in urban schools in order to develop schools' capacity to engage in evaluation and to help all students achieve in science and mathematics.

城市学校协同评价社区（CEC）项目将创建校本协同评价社区，以实现以下目标： 1. 提高城市学校的评价能力。 2. 培养具有评估科学和数学项目知识和技能的研究生教育领导者。 3. 通过提高科学和数学教师使用评估数据、持续改进和基于数据的决策的能力，促进科学和数学教师的专业成长。 CEC项目创建的协作评估社区将作为科学和数学教师的专业成长活动，并作为帮助研究生发展评估技能的训练场。 通过让学校参与评估，该团队将协助教师和研究生收集和分析数据、检查学生评估结果、评估学校项目以及分析科学和数学教学实践。 CEC 项目将协助合作伙伴学区创建一种评估文化，旨在支持对项目的持续评估，最终目的是改善所有学生的教育机会。智力优势：CEC项目将在三年资助期内创建总共八个协作评估社区；堪萨斯城堪萨斯学区有四个合作评估社区，圣保罗学区有四个合作评估社区。协作评估团体将由学校的一名教职人员和一名首席科学或数学教师共同领导。该教师还将帮助监督每个社区的研究生，他们将帮助领导和发展协作评估社区。 首席教师将充当大学和与首席教师同一学校的其他任课教师之间的联络人。 协作评估社区可以通过多种方式进行互动，预计该项目将激发学校和大学合作评估活动的新方式。利用协作评价社区建设城市学校评价能力是评价领域一项独特而重要的活动。 学校需要能够使用评估和评估数据来做出科学和数学教育决策的教师。 CEC 项目将增进对如何帮助学校参与评估的认识和理解。研究人员非常有资格设计和实施 CEC 项目。 他们在科学和数学项目评估领域拥有丰富的经验，将能够利用这些经验来培养研究生并帮助学校进行评估。 此外，CEC项目将由科学和数学项目评估领域的专家进行外部评估。 更广泛的影响：CEC 项目的活动将促进对城市学校教师协作评估社区的使用的发现和理解。 此外，CEC 项目还将促进研究生的教学、培训和学习。 CEC 项目将通过提高为多元化学生群体服务的城市学校教师的评估能力，扩大代表性不足群体的参与。 CEC项目的研究人员也有能力招募不同背景的研究生。 CEC项目的成果将广泛传播给教育和评估界。 该项目通过培养城市学校的评估能力以及培养研究生继续服务社会的评估能力，具有巨大的造福社会的潜力。 总而言之，CEC 项目将在城市学校创建持久的协作评估社区，以培养学校参与评估的能力并帮助所有学生在科学和数学方面取得成就。
