PMSA-9353637麦卡杜斯、尤金、阿德尼卡-莫罗、让和杰克逊、查尔斯·洛杉矶联合学区洛杉矶“地区C少数民族成就伙伴关系”洛杉矶统一学区行政区域“C”与加州州立大学洛杉矶教育学院建立了良好的合作伙伴关系。拟议的项目将在这一伙伴关系的基础上，调动自然及社会科学学院和教育学院的科学和数学系的专业知识，以扩大40所目标学校的教师能力，使他们能够更有效地满足非洲裔美国人和拉丁美洲裔美国学生的需要。目前，这两组学生的平均辍学率为48%。该项目将服务于C区内的特定地理区域。该项目旨在改善小学、初中和高中的科学和数学教学。该项目将积极解决学生的兴趣，学习动机，以及对科学和数学活动的兴奋和参与。与此同时，与该项目相关的自我概念问题也将集中在学生学业和大学可能性上。项目活动包括在大学的校内活动和实地工作，以及对参与的技术组织和行业的访问。项目工作人员计划了干预活动，主要针对四到十年级的学生、他们的老师、家长和目标学校的所有学校现场管理人员。方向是系统地改变目前的做法；将使用通过研究表明的干预措施，以培养更多参加大学预科课程并随后进入大学科学领域的非洲裔和拉丁裔美国学生。PMSA伙伴关系项目的设计是为了使预期结果与旧的、新的或组合的做法相关联，这些做法将整合到学校的文化和财务结构中，努力使战略、态度和群体行为制度化。该项目集中服务于大约1500名小学生、600名初中生和300名高中生，但每年将有多达8000名学生获得服务。

PMSA-9353637 McAdoos, Eugene, Adenika-Morrow, Jean and Jackson, Charles Los Angeles Unified School District Los Angeles, CA "Region C Partnership for Minority Achievement" Los Angeles unified School District Administrative Region "C" has a well established partnership with the School of Education at California State University, Los Angeles. The proposed project will build upon that partnership and marshal the professional expertise of the Science and Mathematics faculty, in the school of Natural and Social Science and the School of Education, to expand the capability of teachers in 40 targeted schools so that they can more effectively meet the needs of African American and Latino American pupils. Currently the two groups of students that have been targeted are averaging a 48% drop-out rate. The Project will serve a specific geographical area within Region C. It is designed to improve science and mathematics instruction in elementary, middle and senior high schools. The Project will actively address student interest, motivation to study, and excitement about and involvement in science and math activities. At the same time self- concept issues related to the project will also focus on student academics and college possibilities. Project activities include in-school activities at the University, and field work, plus visits to participating technological organizations and industries. The Project Staff has planned intervention activities for students primarily in the 4th through 10th grades, their teachers, parents, and all school site administrators in the targeted schools. The direction is one of systemic change of current practices; interventions that have been shown through research to produce more African American and Latino American students who take college preparatory courses and who subsequently enter the sciences at the University will be used. The PMSA Partnership Project is designed so that as desired outcomes are associated with practices, old, new or in combination, the practices will be integrated into the culture and financial fabric of the school in efforts to institutionalize strategy, attitude and group behavior. The project concentrates its services on approximately 1500 elementary pupils, 600 middle and 300 senior high students, but upward to 8000 students each year will receive services.
