State-Based Network to Develop Math/Science Indicators

这是一个主动提出的建议，为理事会的首席国家学校 官员（CCSSO）与国家教育机构合作，以更好地发展 学前数学和科学教育指标。 库存 将在美国进行，以确定他们现在的信息， 收集数学和科学教育的维度和质量 利用国家统计局为这些指标制定的框架， 研究理事会、兰德公司和威斯康星州大学。 这些指标概念和模型将应用于数据收集 “穿梭”过程来描述每个国家如何定义和收集这样的 信息. 该项目将努力满足对一个系统的补充需求， 数学/科学教育中的指标，为项目经理服务， 国家和国家一级的决策者。 项目 利用国家在教育监测方面发挥的作用， 改革，在国家领导下， 他们收集和使用的数据的全面性和可比性。

This is an unsolicited proposal for the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) to work with state education agencies to develop better indicators of precollege education in math and science. An inventory will be conducted in the states to identify the information they now collect on the dimensions and quality of math and science education using the framework being developed for such indicators by the National Research Council, the RAND Corporation, and the University of Wisconsin. These indicator concepts and models will be applied to a data-collection "shuttle" process to describe how each state defines and collects such information. The project will work to meet the complementary needs for a system of indicators in math/science education that serves program managers and policy-makers at both the state and national levels. The project capitalizes on the role states are playing in educational monitoring and reform, while exercising national leadership to bring about quality, comprehensiveness, and comparability in the data they collect and use.
