Statewide Systemic Initiative in Science, Math and Technology

佛蒙特州全州科学、数学和技术系统倡议是教育、商业、高等教育、政府和整个社会五个部门之间的合作项目，旨在提高所有学生的数学、科学和技术表现。为了执行这一项目，佛蒙特州教育局和发展和社区事务部将共同建立佛蒙特州数学、科学和技术研究所。一种双管齐下的方法将把以学校为基础的改革努力与国家政策举措结合起来。主要内容包括：1.全州科学/数学/技术(S/M/T)制定课程框架，指导当地课程发展；专业发展和评估。2.通过暑期学校、全年支持和各种其他专业发展战略，为教师提供密集的专业发展。3.重新设计大学科学、数学和技术课程，加强对新教师的实践培训，并为第二职业S/M/T教师开辟替代路径。4.制定全州范围内科学/数学/技术成绩评估的综合战略，以佛蒙特州现有的通过数学和撰写文件夹对学生作业的评估为基础。5.创建全州范围内的S/M/T远程计算网络，将学校、商界代表和高等教育联系起来。

The Vermont Statewide Systemic Initiative in Science, Math and Technology is a collaborative project between five sectors: education, business, higher education, government, and the community at large to increase the mathematics, science and technology performance of all students. In order to carry out this project, the Vermont State Board of Education and the Agency for Development and Community Affairs will jointly establish the Vermont Institute for Mathematics, Science and Technology. A two-pronged approach will couple school-based change efforts with state policy initiatives. Major components include: 1. A statewide Science/Mathematics/Technology (S/M/T) working curriculum framework to guide local curriculum development, professional development, and assessment. 2. Intensive professional development for teachers through summer institutes, year-round support and a variety of other professional development strategies. 3. Redesigning college science, mathematics and technology courses to strengthen practical training for new teachers, and developing alterative pathways for second career S/M/T teachers. 4. Developing a statewide, integrated strategy for Science/Mathematics/Technology performance assessments that build on Vermont's existing assessment of student work through mathematics and writing portfolios. 5. Creating a statewide S/M/T telecomputing network linking schools, representatives from business, and higher education.
