Salish Kootenai College-Rural Systemic Initiative

萨利什库特奈学院农村系统倡议（SKC rsi - II阶段）将导致教师和学生的教育经验的转变。教师的专业发展，采用有效的评估策略，促进社区参与教育过程，将提高学校内外学生在科学、数学和技术方面学习经验的质量和数量。课堂教师是将课程变化有效地传递给学生个体的关键。在SKC RSI项目中，主要目标是让每个老师都达到“大师教师”的地位，让每个学生都达到“大师学习者”的地位。重要的是要明白，教育经历的旅程是教师和学生之间的平衡努力。本提案的总体目标是在蒙大拿州的平头印第安保留区实施一项全面、可持续、适应性强的科学、数学和技术教学和学习系统改革。这将提高所有学生的成绩，并特别强调在这个农村环境中，两个服务不足的群体：美洲原住民学生和女孩，将取得更大的成就。SKC是科学、数学和技术领域的资源标识符，并且已经开发了生物、化学、物理和地球科学方面的课程。实际上，SKC将成为科学、数学和技术（SMT）领域的“迷你交流中心”，在SMT领域的专业发展中为教师和学生使用美国印第安人特有的教学材料。SKC目前正在准备与其他TCRSI项目共享的评估策略和活动。其他主要目标是改善平头印第安人保留区的科学、数学和技术教育，包括为所有学生提供高质量、基于标准的教学，创新地使用教育技术进行互动教学，以及培训教师队伍以满足新的教学模式的要求。在平头印第安保留区，所有学生都将接受严格的、基于标准的教学，以及支持这种教学的课程、专业发展和评估系统。政策变化的发展和资源分配以支持这些努力是SKC RSI计划的长期目标。

The Salish Kootenai College Rural Systemic Initiative (SKC RSI-Phase II) will result in atransformation of the educational experience for both teachers and students. Professionaldevelopment for teachers, adoption of effective assessment strategies, and promotion of community involvement in the educational process will enhance the quality and quantity of thelearning experience for students in science, mathematics, and technology within and beyond theschool walls. The classroom teacher is the key to the effectiveness of the delivery of curricularchanges to the individual student. In the SKC RSI project, the primary goal is to have everyteacher achieve the status of "master teacher" and to have every student achieve the status of "master learner." It is important to understand that the journey of the educational experience Is a balanced effort between teachers and students.The overall goal of this proposal is to implement a comprehensive, sustainable, adaptablesystem-wide reform of science, mathematics and technology instruction and learning on theFlathead Indian Reservation in Montana. This will lead to increased achievement for all studentsand specifically emphasizes greater achievements for two groups of under-served populations inthis rural setting: Native American students and girls. SKC is the resource identifier for science, mathematics, and technology areas and hasalready developed coursework in biology, chemistry, physics, and earth sciences. SKC will, ineffect, become a "mini clearinghouse" for science, mathematics, and technology (SMT) areasusing American Indian-specific teaching and learning materials in professional developmentin SMT areas for teachers and students. SKC is currently preparing assessment strategiesand activities that will be shared with other TCRSI projects.Other major goals are the improvement of science, mathematics, and technology educationon the Flathead Indian Reservation including access to high quality, standards-based instruction for all students, innovative use of educational technologies for interactive deliveryand the training of the teaching workforce to meet the demands of a new instructionalparadigm. Rigorous, standards-based instruction for all students will be implemented on theFlathead Indian Reservation and the curriculum, professional development, and assessmentsystems to support that instruction. The development of the policy changes and resourceallocations to support these efforts are the long-term goal of the SKC RSI Program.
