PPD/DP: Standards Project

ABSTRACTHRD-9800287，促进资产和获取项目，教育发展中心(EDC)基于标准的改革正在为数学和科学教育带来更严格和更高质量的教育，但由于各种原因，这些改革并不完全适用于身体、发育和学习障碍的学生。其结果是，残疾学生的参与和成就受到限制，对科学和人文事业的天赋和贡献都是一种否定。此外，我们的改革言论和科学的健康都要求向所有学生提供高质量的教育，而将整个群体排除在出类拔萃的机会之外并不是公平的问题，而是我们对优秀的定义的失败。该项目的总体目的是促进为残疾学生提供高质量、基于标准的数学和科学教育。EDC儿童与技术中心将与美国科学促进会合作，向教育工作者展示如何让所有学生都能学习，这是标准中的一个核心理念，可以转化为每个学生将实现的目标。为实现这一目标，该项目正在开展两项主要活动：(1)为全纳和独立教育环境制定、实施、评估和传播示范活动和材料；(2)与参与学校改革和宣传的个人和组织，包括标准委员会密切合作。该项目是一项重大努力，旨在通过改进政策和实践，向残疾学生提供以标准为基础的教育。

ABSTRACTHRD-9800287, Promoting Assets and Access Project, Educational Development Center (EDC)Standards-based reform is bringing increased rigor and quality into mathematics and science education, but for a variety of reasons, those reforms have not been fully available to students with physical, developmental, and learning disabilities. The result is limited participation and achievement by students with disabilities, and a denial of both the scientific and human enterprise of talent and contribution. Further, both our reform rhetoric and the health of science demand that high quality education be available to all students, and exclusion of whole groups from opportunities to excel is not an issue of equity but rather a failing in our definitions of excellence.The overall purpose of the project is to promote high quality, standards-based mathematics and science education for students with disabilities. The Center for Children and Technology of EDC, in collaboration with the American Association for the Advancement of Science, will demonstrate for educators how all students can learn, a central idea in the standards, can be translated into each students will achieve. To accomplish this goal, the project is undertaking two major activities: (1) the development, implementation, evaluation and dissemination of model activities and materials for both inclusive and separate education settings; and (2) closely collaborate with individual and organizations involved in school reform and advocacy, including the standards committees.The focus in this project is Grades K-4. The project is a significant effort to make standards-based education accessible to students with disabilities through the improvement of policy and practice.
