MERIT (Mathematics Enrichment and Retraining for Inservice Teachers)

MERIT项目是一项为期三年的努力，旨在从内容和教学法上提高中学教师的数学知识。该项目的目标教师队伍由两到四名准备不足的教师和一名硕士/导师教师组成。参赛队伍将参加为期四周的暑期研修，随后是一学年的后续学习，以及第二次暑期研修。第一批教师将于1991年夏季开始，第二批教师将于1992年夏季开始。该计划将包括数学内容、教学策略和领导力培训。MERIT是科罗拉多州立大学多明克斯山分校、洛杉矶联合学区和成就委员会共同努力的结果。费用分担由加州州立大学多明格斯山分校、洛杉矶联合学区、成就委员会和参与学校提供，占NSF奖金的20%。

Project MERIT is a three year effort to enhance middle school teachers' knowledge of mathematics in content and pedagogy. The project targets teams of teachers consisting of two to four underprepared teachers and a master/mentor teacher. Teams will participate in a four week-summer institute, substantial academic year followup, and a second summer institute. A first cohort of teachers will begin in the summer of 1991, and a second cohort in the summer of 1992. The program will include mathematics content, instructional strategies, and leadership training. MERIT is a cooperative effort of CSU-Dominquez Hills, the Los Angeles Unified school district, and The Achievement Council. Cost sharing is provided by CSU-Dominguez Hills, the Los Angeles Unified School District, the Achievement Council, and participating schools, as 20% of the NSF award.
