New, GK-12: Mathematically Aligned Vertical Strands Connecting Mathematics Research, Pedagogy and Outreach for GK-12 Fellows and Teachers (MAVS Project)

MAVS项目创建了一个无缝的数学过渡，跨越学校课程，并连接到研究级数学。MAVS项目的核心是由研究生、K-12教师和数学家组成的有凝聚力的垂直团队。每年将有8名研究员与8名教师在一所以少数民族为主的高中及其附属学校合作。他们将合作开发和提供反映数学课程的垂直对齐和连接到研究数学的强大理解的教训。MAVS项目开发了创新的计划组件，如研究和教学研讨会，指导三合会和教学四。指导三合会包括一个研究员，他/她的研究顾问，和MAVS教师导师。教学四人组由两名MAVS研究员、一名初中导师和一名高中导师组成。该项目将建立一个模型，将数学课程中的垂直衔接延伸到研究级数学，并在地方、全州和国家各级传播。研究生研究员将获得21世纪世纪工作场所的关键领导和沟通技能。K-12学生将受益于开发的示范课程，K-12教师将受益于对数学内容和他们所教数学的重要性以及如何在课程中定位的增强理解。该项目的重点是促进一个创新的模式，以满足服务不足的学生群体的迫切需要，以改善这一群体从初中到研究生水平的数学教育。

The MAVS project creates a seamless transition in mathematics that spans the school curriculum and bridges to research-level mathematics. At the heart of the MAVS project are cohesive vertical teams of graduate students, K-12 teachers, and mathematicians. Each year eight fellows will be teamed with eight teachers at a predominantly minority high school and its feeder schools. They will collaborate to develop and deliver lessons that reflect a robust understanding of the vertical alignment of the mathematics curriculum and connections to research mathematics. The MAVS project develops innovative program components, such as research and teaching seminars, mentoring triads, and teaching quads. The mentoring triads consist of a fellow, his/her research advisor, and a MAVS faculty mentor. The teaching quads consist of two MAVS fellows with a mentor junior high and a mentor high school teacher. The project will establish a model for extending vertical articulation in the mathematics curriculum to research-level mathematics that will be disseminated at local, statewide, and national levels. Graduate fellows will gain crucial leadership and communication skills for the 21st Century workplace. K-12 students will benefit from model lessons developed and K-12 teachers will benefit from an enhanced understanding of mathematics content and of the importance of the mathematics they teach and how it is situated in the curriculum. The project focus promotes an innovative model for addressing the acute needs of underserved student populations to improve mathematics education for this group from junior high to the graduate level.
