NSF INCLUDES DDLP: Math FACESS (Families & Communities Empowering Student Success in Mathematics)

这项NSF包括设计和开发的启动试点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，主要利益攸关方组成了NM STEM生态系统，这是一个充满活力的跨部门合作伙伴网络，致力于对阿尔伯克基的STEM教育和学位获得产生实际影响。NM STEM生态系统将低收入有色人种学生与经济条件较好的同龄人之间的数学成绩差距确定为其首先要解决的扩大参与度(BP)挑战。尽管有色人种学生和高加索学生之间的数学成绩差距在全国范围内显现，但在新墨西哥州的情况尤其严重。为了保持通向未来STEM职业生涯的大门敞开，至关重要的是，及早阐明数学学习途径，这些途径尊重家庭的文化认识方式。数学家庭和社区赋权学生成功(Math FACESS)的创新战略是使用集体影响方法，通过围绕一个连贯、多方面的早期数学教学计划将正式和非正式的STEM教育者联系起来，使家长和教师能够支持孩子的数学发展，从而缩小数学成绩差距。数学教育辅助计划的实施包括四个主要部分：1)两所试点学校的教师将参与与数学听说有关的专业发展；2)试点学校的家长将参加家长工作坊和社区活动，重点支持他们的孩子的数学成绩；3)项目合作伙伴将实施以12个月数学为主题的社区家庭活动；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人分享的最佳实践，以扩大有效的实践并增加影响。数学课程的近期目标是：1)改善学生在数学方面的态度、实践和成就；2)改善家长对数学的态度、实践和信心，并增加他们对家庭数学资源的利用；3)改善合作伙伴之间与数学参与和成就相关的数据共享；以及4)在生态系统内为家庭数学学习创造途径。还将评估集体影响模式的有效性和对伙伴组织的影响。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，以解决系统性社区条件--在这种情况下，数学成绩差距；2)促进变革理论研究，证明学生的成绩可以通过与家长和教师的合作而受到影响；3)提供一个重视不同认识方式的模型，并在为学生、家庭和学校设计STEM学习机会时使用文化背景。

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.
