Michigan Statewide Systemic Initiative for Mathematics and Science

密歇根州范围内的数学和科学系统倡议(MSSI)将通过协调现有的政策倡议和课程、领导力和伙伴关系倡议来实施科学和数学教育的全面变革，以支持科学和数学教育的校本变革。密歇根州最近通过了第25号公共法案(PA 25)，规定制定州核心课程，审查和修订阻碍教育变革的政策和方案，以及通过州认证鼓励以学校为基础的变革的过程。为了进一步支持校本变革，瞄准弱势学区，并改变科学和数学教育，密歇根州计划采取五项相互关联的干预措施：1.制定一份数学和科学教育的州愿景声明，广泛传播，对其进行修订，并获得MSSI指导委员会、州教育委员会和一系列利益攸关方团体的认可。2.对加强或阻碍这一愿景的现行立法和国家政策、方案和条例进行系统审查。这项审查将与区、州和协会的工作人员广泛分享，并将结果报告提交给州教育委员会、州长办公室和主要立法者。这些建议将每年进行审查，以确定执行的程度。3.在目标学区创建有效学习模式。这项倡议将把重点放在经济困难和极端农村地区，以及对数学和科学教育改革感兴趣的其他地区。将在参与的学区组成25至50个社区联盟，MSSI将向它们提供技术援助。这些模型将产生关于创建成功的社区联盟以改革数学和科学教育的新知识。4.改革教师教育项目，使其与国家对数学和科学教育的愿景保持一致。将在该项目的第一年制定一份阐述这一方向的框架草案。实施建议改革的激励计划将在2-5年内实施。5.发展和协调州一级工作人员的发展，以支持数学和科学教育改革与愿景陈述一致。制定一个协调的计划，以刺激和支持地方地区在考虑、探索和实施本项目和其他州级改革活动所利用和产生的知识方面的努力。6.制定一项评估计划，以确定该项目拟议成果的成败，以及其他国家一级数学和科学教育改革活动的成败。建立国家数学和科学教育指标体系。

The Michigan Statewide Systemic Initiative in Mathematics and Science (MSSI) will implement a comprehensive transformation of science and mathematics education by coordinating policy initiatives already in place with curricular, leadership, and partnership initiatives to support school-based change in science and mathematics education. Michigan recently passed Public Act 25 (PA 25) which provided for the development of a State Core Curriculum, a process to review and revise policies and programs that inhibit educational change, and a process to encourage school-based change through State accreditation. To further support school-based change, target disadvantaged school districts, and transform science and mathematics education Michigan plans five connected interventions: 1. Develop a state vision statement for mathematics and science education, circulate it widely, revise it, and obtain endorsement from the MSSI Steering Committee, the State Board of Education, and a range of stakeholder groups. 2. Design and carry out a systematic review of existing legislation and state policies, programs and regulations, that strengthen or impede the vision. The review will be widely shared with district, state, and association personnel, and a report on the results will be submitted to the State Board of Education, Governor's office, and key legislators. The recommendations will be reviewed annually to determine the extent of implementation. 3. Create Models of Effective Learning in targeted school districts. This initiative will focus on economically disadvantaged and extreme rural districts, along with other districts interested in reform in mathematics and science education. Twenty-five to fifty community coalitions will be formed in participating school districts and the MSSI will provide technical assistance to them. The Models will generate new knowledge about creating successful community coalitions to reform mathematics and science education. 4. Reform teacher education programs to bring them into line with the state's vision for mathematics and science education. A draft framework that lays out this direction will be developed during the project's first year. An incentive plan to implement the recommended reforms will be implemented in years 2 - 5. 5. Develop and coordinate state-level staff development to support mathematics and science education reform consistent with the vision statement. Develop a coordinated plan to stimulate and support local district efforts in considering, exploring, and implementing knowledge employed and generated by this project and other state-level reform activities. 6. Create an evaluation plan that will determine the success of the project's proposed outcomes as well as the success of other state-level activities to reform mathematics and science education. A state indicator system for mathematics and science education will be developed.
