Indiana Mathematics Initiative

9619043弗拉塞拉印第安纳州数学倡议(IMI)是印第安纳大学、中等年级网络和印第安纳州12个城市学区之间的合作伙伴关系，为期五年的教师培训和课程实施工作。该项目为62所完全致力于各级数学教育改革的中学和中学的445名数学教师和管理人员提供了132-180小时的广泛专业发展经验。这些经验旨在使每位教师能够有效地使用NSF支持的四套中学教材中的一套(连接数学、上下文中的数学、数学中的观察和思考，或六到八门数学)或NSF支持的四套中学教材中的一套(Core Plus、RISE、交互式数学计划或SIMMS)。该项目是根据7-12年级数学教师加强本地系统变革指导方针提交的，旨在使教师对数学的看法和学习方法以及他们对自己在中学数学课堂中的角色的看法发生重大变化。这些变化将通过各种方式实现：(1)由教师、IMI工作人员和课程项目代表参加的密集和广泛的会议、研讨会和讲习班；(2)IMI工作人员在研讨会和研讨会后的持续支持和技术援助；(3)领导教师、地区课程协调员和其他学校管理人员的领导力发展，以确保持续的、系统的变化；以及(4)与当前的州改革努力，特别是印第安纳州即将到来的数学教科书采用过程的协调。该项目的非联邦费用分摊超过2,000,000美元，其中1,740,000多美元将来自12个参与的学区，约227,000美元来自印第安纳大学，约35,000美元来自中学年级网络。

9619043 Frascella The Indiana Mathematics Initiative (IMI) is a five-year teacher enhancement and curricular implementation effort involving a partnership among Indiana University, the Middle Grades Network, and twelve urban school districts in Indiana. The project provides extensive professional development experiences of 132 - 180 hours for each of 445 mathematics teachers and administrators in 62 middle and secondary schools that are fully committed to mathematics education reform at all grade levels. The experiences are designed to enable each teacher to use effectively one of four sets of NSF-supported middle school instructional materials (Connected Mathematics, Mathematics in Context, Seeing and Thinking Mathematically, or Six through Eight Mathematics) or one of four sets of NSF-supported secondary school materials (Core Plus, ARISE, Interactive Mathematics Program, or SIMMS). Submitted under the guidelines for Local Systemic Change through Teacher Enhancement in Mathematics, Grades 7-12, the project seeks to create significant changes in how the teachers perceive mathematics and how it is learned, as well as in their views of their roles in middle/secondary mathematics classrooms. These changes will be effected in a variety of ways: (1) intensive and extensive meetings, seminars, and workshops involving the teachers, IMI staff, and representatives of the curriculum projects; (2) continuous support and technical assistance by IMI staff following seminars and workshops; (3) leadership development of lead teachers, district curriculum coordinators, and other school administrators to insure sustained, systemic change; and (4) coordination with current state reform efforts, especially Indiana's upcoming mathematics textbook adoption process. Non-federal cost-sharing in the project is over $ 2,000,000, of which more than $ 1,740,000 is to be derived from the twelve participating school districts, approximately $ 227,000 from Indiana University, and approximately $ 35,00 0 from the Middle Grades Network.
