Math and Science Middle School Pathways Portal (MSP2)

俄亥俄州立大学教育学院（OSU）、全国中学协会（NMSA）和教育发展中心（EDC）通过创建数学和科学中学途径门户网站（MSP2），为数学和科学的中级教育工作者提供管理角色。在继续创建和提供上下文化的高质量资源的同时，MSP2还利用Web 2.0工具来促进其用户之间的交互性、协作和知识共享。此外，MSP2正在通过为中学生设计的新版块和与职业发展、21世纪技能和STEM职业相关的新资源扩大其影响范围。该门户网站还为中级数学和科学教师提供了一个虚拟的专业学习社区。项目合作伙伴正在跨项目集成资源、工具和服务，并支持多种资源发现方法，以满足受众的需求。这些组织和其他组织之间的合作为MSP2提供了更长期的可持续性和管理。项目评估确定项目对其目标受众的影响以及对Web 2.0工具和服务的教育用途的影响。MSP2通过继续开发情境化、高质量的资源收集、通过虚拟专业学习社区建立和支持中学数学和科学教师网络，以及支持Web 2.0工具和服务的教育使用，增强了研究和教育的基础设施。知识、经验和研究成果的传播是该项目的一个重要方面。项目合作伙伴通过会议、在线活动、印刷出版物和Web通信来接触不同的受众。

The Ohio State University College of Education (OSU), the National Middle School Association (NMSA), and Education Development Center (EDC) are providing a stewardship role for middle level educators of mathematics and science by creating the Math and Science Middle School Pathways Portal, or MSP2. While continuing to create and offer contextualized, high-quality resources, MSP2 is also capitalizing on Web 2.0 tools to promote interactivity, collaboration, and knowledge sharing among its users. Additionally, MSP2 is expanding its scope of influence through a new section designed for middle school aged youth and new resources related to career development, 21st century skills, and STEM careers. The portal also provides a virtual professional learning community of middle level math and science teachers. Project partners are integrating resources, tools, and services across projects, and supporting multiple methods of resource discovery to meets the needs of this audience. Collaboration among these and other organizations is providing the longer-term sustainability and stewardship of MSP2. The project evaluation is determining the impact of the project on its target audiences and the educational uses of Web 2.0 tools and services.MSP2 enhances the infrastructure for research and education by continuing to develop a contextualized, high-quality resource collection, building and supporting networks of middle grades math and science teachers through a virtual professional learning community, and supporting the educational use of Web 2.0 tools and services. Dissemination of knowledge, experience, and research results is a significant aspect of the project. The project partners are reaching diverse audiences through conferences, meetings, online events, print publications, and Web communications.
