Jaime Escalante Math and Science Program

该项目扩展了非常成功的东洛杉矶学院/加菲尔德高中预修微积分课程，包括额外的数学课程，以及物理、化学和计算机科学教师的教师提升课程。总共有27名K-12教师将接受著名大师老师Jaime Escalante的课程设计方法和教学技巧的指导。该项目继续努力激励市中心的少数民族学生认真参与数学和科学。该项目将持续三年，除教师外，还将涉及约400名学生。东洛杉矶学院和ARCO基金会将提供相当于国家科学基金会资金204%的费用分摊。

This project expands the highly successful East Los Angeles College/Garfield High School Advanced Placement Calcumlus Program to include additional mathematics programs, and teacher enhancement programs for teachers of physics, chemistry, and computer science. In all, twenty-seven K-12 teachers will be instructed in the course design methods and teaching techniques of acclaimed master teacher Jaime Escalante. The project continues the efforts in motivating inner-city minority students towards serious involvement with mathematics and science. The program will be for three years, and, in addition to the teachers, will involve approximately 400 students. East Los Angeles College and the ARCO Foundation are providing cost- sharing equal to 204% of the NSF funding.
