Hawaii Collaborative for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Education (CESME)

CESME示范项目将展示我们最初的夏威夷科学和数学卓越合作（CESME）提案的一部分，该提案于1995年6月提交给NSF CETP计划。 我们建议开发，测试和评估一个小规模的模型，有效的合作改革的科学和数学准备职前小学教师在夏威夷大学系统。 该项目汇集了来自马诺阿夏威夷大学（UHM）和Kapiolani社区学院（也在夏威夷大学系统内）的科学家和数学家，UHM教育学院的科学和数学教育工作者，以及夏威夷教育部的专家和在职教师。 该项目旨在调整现有的四门课程，以反映科学和数学内容、教学和评估标准的改革;更好地将科学和数学纳入这些课程;更好地阐明这些内容和教育课程。 夏威夷拥有全州范围内的高等和较低的公共教育系统，这使得拟议的项目合作成为可能。

The CESME Demonstration Project will demonstrate a portion of our original Hawaii Collaborative for Excellence in Science and Mathematics (CESME) proposal submitted in June 1995 to the NSF CETP program. We propose to develop, test, and evaluate a small-scale model for effective collaborative reform of science and mathematics preparation for pre-service elementary teachers in the University of Hawaii system. The Project brings together scientists and mathematicians from the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) and Kapiolani Community College (also within the University of Hawaii system), science and mathematics educators from the College of Education at UHM, and specialists and inservice teachers from the Hawaii Department of Education. The Project aims to restructure four existing courses to reflect reforms in science and mathematics content, teaching, and assessment standards; to better integrate science and mathematics in these courses; and to better articulate these content and education courses. Hawaii has both a statewide higher and a lower public education system that makes the proposed Project collaborations possible.
