The American Mathematics Project: Teachers Helping Teachers

美国数学计划是一个为期三年的计划，旨在通过大幅增加美国本地数学教师计划（mtp）的数量来提高数学教师的能力。MTP是由教师、学院和大学教师以及行业专业人士共同努力的地方合作项目，旨在促进各级教学的卓越，尤其是K-12年级的教学。该项目将首先组织和举办一次全国中期计划讲习班，汇集来自20个有意在其社区建立中期计划的地方地区的小组和来自现有成功的中期计划的25名资源负责人。讲习班将允许导师和参与小组之间进行广泛讨论，并帮助小组制定具体的行动计划，以便在当地实施。在讲习班结束后的两年期间，方案工作人员将与20个小组保持密切联系，并以多种方式向他们提供援助，直到启动积极的中期方案。这项援助将包括每季的中期计划通讯，其中载有对发展中的中期计划有用的新闻和资料，以及顾问对发展中的中期计划的地点进行访问。此外，利用讲习班和后续活动的经验，将出版一份中期计划资源手册，其中载有一套全面的资料和指南，供新兴的中期计划使用。

The American Mathematics Project is a three-year program designed to enhance mathematics teacher competence by increasing substantially the number of local Mathematics Teacher Projects (MTPs) in the United States. An MTP is a local cooperative effort by teachers, college and university faculty, and professionals in industry to stimulate excellence in teaching at all levels, but especially in grades K-12. The project will first organize and conduct a national MTP Workshop to bring together teams from 20 local areas interested in establishing MTPs in their communities and 25 resource leaders from existing successful MTPs. The Workshop will allow for extensive discussions between mentors and the participant teams and help the teams formulate specific action plans for local implementation. During the two-year period following the Workshop, the AMP staff will maintain close ties to the 20 teams and provide assistance to them in several ways until active MTPs have been launched. This assistance will include a quarterly MTP Newsletter containing useful news and information for the developing MTPs, and consultant visits to the sites of developing MTP's. In addition, an MTP Resource Manual will be published, using the experience of the Workshop and follow-up activities, containing a comprehensive kit of information and guidance for emerging MTP's.
