Administrators Working for Change: Materials to Support Administrators' Learning About Mathematics Education Reform

9731242 Nelson The Administrators Working for Change Project是K-8数学领域的一个专业发展项目。教育发展中心（EDC）与会德洛克学院、莱斯利学院、波士顿公立学校、大波士顿地区教育合作组织和全国实地考点合作，将开发、试点、实地测试、出版和传播教学材料和促进者指南，以支持学校和地区管理人员了解数学教育改革中的问题。该项目旨在涉及520名K-8管理人员，并将开设两门42小时的研究生课程，题为：实施新数学课程的管理问题和小学数学教师监督。该项目计划与全国数学教师委员会（NCTM）、全国数学监督员委员会（NCSM）和监督与课程发展协会（ASCD）建立联系。这些课程是为以大学为基础的主要认证项目或为实践管理人员设计的高级课程。课程模块供学区或地区服务提供者使用。该项目的一个独特之处在于，其重点是为学校和地区管理人员提供知识和工具，以支持教师实施基于改革的数学举措，并帮助社区理解和支持数学教育改革。

9731242 Nelson The Administrators Working for Change Project is a professional development project in the area of K-8 mathematics. The Education Development Center (EDC) working in collaboration with Wheelock College, Lesley College, the Boston Public Schools, and the Educational Collaborative for Greater Boston and national field test sites, will develop, pilot, field test, publish, and disseminate instructional materials and facilitator's guides to support school and district administrators' learning about issues in mathematics education reform. The project seeks to involve 520 K-8 administrators and will create two 42-hour graduate courses entitled: Administrative Issues in Implementing New Mathematics Curricula and Teacher Supervision in Elementary Mathematics. The project has plans to link with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD). The courses are designed for university-based principal certification programs or as advanced courses for practicing administrators. Course modules are for use by school districts or regional service providers. A unique feature of this project is its focus on providing school and district administrators with the knowledge and tools to support teachers implementing reform-based mathematics initiatives and in helping communities to understand and support mathematics education reform.
