This NSF INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilot will improve math achievement among elementary school students of color in public schools in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Recognizing the need to coordinate efforts related to students' math and science achievement, key stakeholders formed the NM STEM Ecosystem, a dynamic network of cross-sector partners committed to making real impact on STEM education and degree attainment in Albuquerque. The NM STEM Ecosystem identified the math achievement gap between low-income students of color and their more economically-advantaged peers as the Broadening Participation (BP) Challenge it would address first. While math achievement gaps between students of color and Caucasian students appear nationally, the situation is particularly dire in New Mexico. In order to keep doors open to future STEM careers, it is crucial that learning pathways for math are articulated early and that these pathways honor families' cultural ways of knowing. The innovative strategy of Math Families & Communities Empowering Student Success (Math FACESS) is to use a collective impact approach to close the math achievement gap by connecting formal and informal STEM educators around a coherent, multi-faceted program of early mathematics teaching and learning that empowers parents and teachers to support children's mathematical development. Implementation of Math FACESS includes four major components: 1) Teachers at two pilot schools will participate in professional development related to Math Talk and Listening; 2) Parents at the pilot schools will participate in parent workshops and community-based activities focused on supporting their children's math achievement; 3) Project partners will implement community-based family activities organized around a theme of Twelve Months of Math; and 4) Ecosystem partners will study what worked and what didn't, in order to identify best practices that can be shared with system leaders to scale effective practices and increase impact.The near-term objectives for Math FACESS are: 1) improve students' attitudes, practices, and achievement in math; 2) improve parents' attitudes, practices, and confidence in math and increase their utilization of family math resources; 3) improve data-sharing among partners related to math participation and achievement; and 4) create pathways within the Ecosystem for family math learning. The effectiveness of the collective impact model and impacts on partner organizations also will be assessed. Through the math FACESS Launch Pilot, the NM STEM Ecosystem plans to: 1) demonstrate the power of a collective impact social innovation framework to address a systemic community condition -- in this case, the math achievement gap; 2) contribute to theory-of-change research that demonstrates student achievement can be affected by working with parents and teachers; and 3) provide a model that values different ways of knowing and uses cultural context in the design of STEM learning opportunities for students, families, and schools.

NSF 的这项设计和开发启动试点项目将提高新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基公立学校有色人种小学生的数学成绩。认识到需要协调与学生数学和科学成绩相关的努力，主要利益相关者组建了 NM STEM 生态系统，这是一个由跨部门合作伙伴组成的动态网络，致力于对阿尔伯克基的 STEM 教育和学位获得产生真正的影响。 NM STEM 生态系统将低收入有色人种学生与经济上更有优势的同龄人之间的数学成绩差距确定为它首先要解决的扩大参与 (BP) 挑战。虽然全国范围内有色人种学生和白人学生之间的数学成绩差距都存在，但新墨西哥州的情况尤其严峻。为了向未来的 STEM 职业敞开大门，尽早明确数学学习途径至关重要，并且这些途径尊重家庭的文化认知方式。数学家庭和社区赋予学生成功 (Math FACESS) 的创新战略是，通过将正式和非正式的 STEM 教育工作者围绕一个连贯、多方面的早期数学教学和学习计划联系起来，采用集体影响的方法来缩小数学成绩差距，使家长和教师能够支持儿童的数学发展。 Math FACESS的实施包括四个主要部分： 1）两所试点学校的教师将参与数学谈话和听力相关的专业发展； 2）试点学校的家长将参加家长研讨会和社区活动，重点支持孩子的数学成绩； 3) 项目合作伙伴将围绕“十二个月的数学”主题开展以社区为基础的家庭活动； 4) 生态系统合作伙伴将研究哪些有效、哪些无效，以确定可以与系统领导者分享的最佳实践，以扩大有效实践并增加影响力。 Math FACESS 的近期目标是： 1) 改善学生的数学态度、实践和成绩； 2）提高家长对数学的态度、实践和信心，提高家庭数学资源的利用率； 3) 改善合作伙伴之间与数学参与和成绩相关的数据共享； 4) 在生态系统内创建家庭数学学习途径。还将评估集体影响模型的有效性以及对合作伙伴组织的影响。通过数学 FACESS 启动试点，NM STEM 生态系统计划：1）展示集体影响社会创新框架的力量，以解决系统性社区状况——在本例中是数学成绩差距； 2) 为变革理论研究做出贡献，证明学生的成绩可以通过与家长和老师的合作来影响； 3) 提供一个模型，重视不同的认知方式，并在为学生、家庭和学校设计 STEM 学习机会时利用文化背景。
