COORDINATING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS FOR SUSTAINED ACADEMIC SUCCESS

这一规划赠款旨在作为向IERI提出全面建议的基础。在规划赠款期间，该项目将进行一项试点研究，开始整合现有活动，以收集关于垂直一体化障碍的初步数据，并将与第二个地理位置合作，作为研究垂直一体化模式系统复制的地点。长期研究项目的主要目标是确定成功实现经证实的课后教育K-12方案垂直一体化所需的体制和社会安排。目前，这些方案在学龄前、小学、初中和高中各级独立开展。我们的目标是聚集一个跨学科的团队，设计一个垂直整合的此类活动系统，并开发一套有助于更广泛地研究和整合课外计划的方法工具。这一纵向一体化将成为取得教育成果的有效渠道。这种融合对于学生个体的发展，对于课外和学校活动的相互支持，以及对这些设计努力的持续，都是必要的。

This planning grant is designed to serve as the foundation for a full-scale proposal to the IERI. During planning grant the project will run a pilot study which begins to integrate the existing activities in order to collect preliminary data on barriers to vertical integration, and will work with a second geographical location as a site for studying the replication of the vertical integration model system.The major goal of the long term research project is to identify the institutional and social arrangements necessary for the successful vertical integration of proven after-school educational K-12 programs. Currently, these programs operate independently at the pre-school, elementary school, middle and high school levels. Our goal is to bring together an interdisciplinary team to design a vertically integrated system of such activities and to develop a set of methodological tools which will be useful for studying and integrating after-school programs more generally. This vertical integration will constitute an effective pipeline for educational achievement in SMET. Such integration is necessary for the development of individual students, for the mutual support of after-school and school activities, and for sustaining these design efforts.
