The goal of the Partnership Implementing Mathematics & Science Education (PIMSE) project is to promote the development of graduate students into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) professionals whose knowledge and skills will support them in their professional and scientific careers. This project provides computer science graduate students -- GK-12 Fellows -- with teaching experience in science or math by being involved in developing and testing the ASSISTment System -- a web-based intelligent tutoring system (http://www.assistment.org/). As part of their Fellowship, GK-12 Fellows are paired with participating GK12 teachers the Worcester Public Schools (WPS) to develop new content for the ASSISTment System. This System innovatively uses the amount of tutoring a student needs to answer questions as an assessment of their understanding of mathematics and science. The students working with the Fellows will learn about implementing technology and how to conduct Learning Sciences experiments in classrooms. The cooperating teachers will increase their content knowledge, and this will contribute to their professional growth. Society will gain by having more scientists and academicians who have a deep understanding of the challenges and needs of public schools. Finally, the inquiry tutoring that the Fellows develop will be available to all middle schools students via the ASSISTment web-site. Special web-site based tools will be available for teachers on the best ways to use the data derived from the ASSISTment System and how to use it to improve their teaching.

合作伙伴实施数学科学教育（PIMSE）项目的目标是促进研究生发展成为科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）专业人员，他们的知识和技能将支持他们的专业和科学生涯。&该项目通过参与开发和测试ASSISTment系统----一个基于网络的智能辅导系统（http：//www.assistment.org/），为计算机科学研究生----GK-12研究员----提供科学或数学方面的教学经验。作为奖学金的一部分，GK-12研究员与伍斯特公立学校（WPS）的GK12教师配对，为援助系统开发新内容。该系统创新性地使用了学生回答问题所需的辅导量来评估他们对数学和科学的理解。与研究员一起工作的学生将学习如何实施技术以及如何在课堂上进行学习科学实验。合作教师的学科知识得到了增长，这将有助于他们的专业成长。社会将受益于有更多的科学家和学者谁有深刻的理解的挑战和公立学校的需求。最后，研究员开发的探究辅导将通过ASSISTment网站提供给所有中学生。将为教师提供基于网站的特殊工具，以最佳方式使用从援助系统中获得的数据，以及如何使用这些数据来改进教学。
