This EAGER project explores the feasibility of a consortium-based program of research and evaluation to support ongoing reforms in the DC public schools and to ensure a high priority for STEM education policy and practice in the emerging design of the consortium. Building on several recent NRC reports, the project will support (1) the improvement of the infrastructure for collection and analysis of STEM-specific transcript data so that it becomes an integral part of the data and indicator system for DCPS; (2) an exploration of the effectiveness of a consortium in determining priority topics for evaluation and research; and (3) ensuring that the new consortium produces new knowledge useful to other consortium-based efforts underway across the nation. The notion of a university-based consortium as a strategy for improving DC public schools is both bold and innovative and warrants exploration, development and monitoring. There are also significant risk factors reform in the DC public schools takes place in a highly charged political environment where 17 different management structures have been tried since 1804. However, the notion of a consortium that provides accurate evidence and data is a vital one, as the District attempts to sustain the momentum of reform that was initiated by moving to Mayoral control.

这个急切的项目探索了基于联盟的研究和评估计划的可行性，以支持DC公立学校正在进行的改革，并确保在联盟的新兴设计中高度优先考虑STEM教育政策和实践。在NRC最近几份报告的基础上，该项目将支持(1)改善STEM特定成绩单数据的收集和分析的基础设施，使其成为DCP数据和指标系统的组成部分；(2)探索联合体在确定评估和研究的优先主题方面的有效性；以及(3)确保新的联合体产生对全国各地正在进行的其他联合体工作有用的新知识。以大学为基础的联合体作为改善DC公立学校的战略的概念既大胆又创新，值得探索、发展和监测。华盛顿特区公立学校的改革也有重大的风险因素，改革是在高度紧张的政治环境中进行的，自1804年以来，已尝试了17种不同的管理结构。然而，提供准确证据和数据的联合体的概念是至关重要的，因为该地区试图维持通过转移到市长控制所启动的改革势头。
