Fort Belknap College Rural Systemic Initiative

贝尔纳普堡学院倡议(FBCRSI)将扩大过去五年与部落学院合作期间开始的努力。首先，每年将至少提供两次基于标准的课程和评估培训，以适应新聘用的教师，并为所有教师提供关于基于标准的课程和评估的最新发展的持续培训。在过去两年中，目标学校同步了它们的学术日历，以促进这些专业发展课程，目前，这些学校也在努力同步下一学年的日历。既然基于标准的课程已经到位，重点已转移到适当的评估上。替代评估培训将每年进行三次，目标是目标学校的所有数学和科学教师每年至少参加一次培训。FBCRSI将协调数学和科学教师暑期学院的发展。其次，由于前五年的大部分成就都是初级的，现在是时候把重点放在中学和贝尔纳普堡学院的职前教师计划上了。这一重点的轻微转移将确保FBCRSI为贝尔纳普堡保留区的所有目标人口提供K-14级的服务。这不仅将提高学生在中学阶段的数学和科学成绩，还将增加选择数学或科学教学作为职业的美洲原住民人数。第三，FBCRSI将通过协调和促进丰富活动来扩大其在学生成绩方面的努力，这些活动包括：基于标准的课后计划、周六学院和暑期学校计划。这些计划将为每个目标学校的学生群体定制，以帮助学生进行补救和/或丰富活动，以帮助所有学生达到高水平。第四，现已建立的FBCRSI计划将继续其成功的RSI指导委员会，该委员会代表了数学和科学领域的所有目标学校人口。项目人员将扩大努力，为保留地内的各个项目和部门提供领导，这将导致更多的合作和更少的重复工作。FBCRSI将与蒙大拿州的所有其他RSI项目和全州的教育机构/项目合作，协调共享的活动，利用资源，分享对学生成绩产生最佳影响的有效实践。

The Fort Belknap College Initiative (FBCRSI) will expand the efforts that were begun during the past five years of work with the Tribal College RSI. First, Standards-Based Curriculum and Assessment Training will be offered at least twice per year to orient new-hires and to provide ongoing training in current developments in standards based curriculum and assessment for all teachers. For the last two years the targetschools have synchronized their academic calendars to facilitate these professional development sessions and currently the schools are working on synchronizing the next academic year's calendar as well. Now that the Standards-Based Curricula is in place, the focus has shifted to appropriate evaluation. Training in alternative assessment will be conducted three times per year, with the goal of all math and science teachers in thetarget schools attending at least one of the sessions each year. FBCRSI will coordinate the development of a Summer Institute for Math and Science teachers. Second, since the bulk of accomplishments over the first five years has been at the elementary level, it is now time to focus on the secondary level and on the pre-service teacher program at Fort Belknap College. This slight shift in focus will insure that theFBCRSI is providing services to the entire target population on the Fort Belknap Reservation at grades K-14. This will not only increase student achievement in math and science at the secondary level, but will also increase the number of Native Americans who choose math or science teaching as a career. Third, the FBCRSI will expand its efforts in student achievement by coordinating and facilitating enrichment activities that include: Standards-Based After School Programs, Saturday Academies, and Summer School Programs. These programs will be customized for each target school student population to assist the students with remediation and/or enrichment activities to help all students achieve at high levels. Fourth, the now-established FBCRSI program will continue with its successful RSI Steering Committee, which represents all targeted school populations in math and science. Program personnel will expand efforts to provide leadership for the variousprograms and departments within the reservation that will lead to more cooperation and less duplication of efforts. FBCRSI will work collaboratively with all other RSI programs in Montana and statewide educational agencies/programs to coordinate shared activities, leverage resources, and share effective practices that have optimal impact on student achievement.
