TEACH-STAT: Teaching Statistics Grades 1-6 - A Statewide Implementation Project

北卡罗来纳大学数学和科学教育网络的这项为期三年的努力是一项全州范围的计划，旨在加强统计领域的教师教育。全州的9个站点都将参与其中。该项目的重点是一年级到六年级的教师，并将在该州建立一个结构，以鼓励和支持这些年级的统计学教学。该项目包括为大学和学院教员举办一系列统计学教育研讨会；培养由校长和小学教师组成的初级骨干队伍，他们将参与专业发展项目，并在学校实施统计学教学计划；通过培养统计教育干部（参与该项目的小学教师）并支持他们与当地学校系统的合作，在全州范围内推广该项目。该项目包括一项研究工作，以及大力强调为教师开发专业材料。该项目将是北卡罗莱纳州全州系统倡议的补充，该倡议由北卡罗莱纳州数学和科学联盟指导。在第一年，来自地区站点的教师教育工作者将参加规划研讨会，并将选择当地的教师和校长团队。9个地点将各选出一个6人小组。1992年将在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山为各队的教师和来自九个地点的教员举办一个暑期研修。校长将参加部分时间。执行和区域会议在1992- 1993学年举行；在这一年里，每个网站还会选出24个新的参与者。1993年夏季，在各区域场址举办了为期三周的暑期讲习班，每个场址有24名教师，由当地小组主持。第一年开发的在职材料将作为这些暑期学院的基础。在93-94年期间，区域支助和后续行动是主要活动，1994年夏季将为统计教育工作者执行一个特别的为期一周的研究所。此外，1994年将在当地支助下提供为期两星期和三星期的区域夏季研习班。费用分摊占NSF奖金的67%。

This three-year effort of the UNC Mathematics and Science Education Network is a statewide plan for enhancing teacher education in the area of statistics. Each of nine sites across the state will be involved. The project focuses on teachers of grades one through six, and will establish a structure in the state for encouraging and supporting the teaching of statistics in those grades. The project includes a series of seminars in statistics education for university and college faculty; the development of an initial cadre of principals and elementary school teachers who will participate in professional development programs and implement plans to teach statistics in their schools; and to spread the project through the state by preparing cadres of statistics educators (elementary teachers who have participated in the project) and supporting their efforts with local school systems. The project includes a research effort, as well as a strong emphasis on the development of professional materials for teachers. The project will be a complementary effort to the North Carolina Statewide Systemic Initiative, which is directed by the North Carolina Alliance for Mathematics and Science. In the first year, teacher educators from the regional sites will participate in a planning seminar, and will select local teams of teachers and principals. Each of the nine sites will select a six-person teams. A summer institute will be held in 1992 at UNC Chapel Hill for the teacher members of the teams, and the faculty members from the nine sites. Principals will attend for part of this time. Implementation and regional meetings occur in the 1992-93 academic year; during this year each site also selects 24 new participants. In summer 1993, three-week summer institutes are held at the regional sites, with 24 teachers at each site, conducted by the local teams. The inservice materials developed in year one will serve as the foundation for these summer institutes. In the 93-94 year, regional support and followup is the major activity, and in the summer of 1994 a special one-week institute for statistics educators will be implemented. In addition, summer institutes will be offered regionally in 1994, of two-week and three-week duration, with local support. Cost sharing is included as 67% of the NSF award.
