Statewide Systemic Initiative Supplemental Grant

由路易斯安那、康涅狄格、马萨诸塞、新泽西、波多黎各、南卡罗来纳、德克萨斯和佛蒙特州组成的8个第二阶段全州系统性倡议（SSI）州认为，美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和其他关键合作伙伴在系统性改革方面的大量投资必须变得更加网络化和优化。为了朝着这个方向前进，SSI国家制定了科学和数学系统改革蓝图，其中描述了改革经验理论的基本要素，这些要素将为SSI国家在不久的将来的工作提供信息。该蓝图包括以下建议，以确保SSI州与NSF以及其他州和地方地区在科学和数学方面进行系统改革的有效网络：与国家层面的研究人员合作，在不断发展的系统改革经验理论的背景下阐明系统改革的一般模型。综合、组织和传播大量的改革产品，如标准校准的教学材料、基于标准的课程、评估工具、代数材料、自我评估工具，以及调整资源分配的策略，以及其余八个ssi测试和开发的系统改革的治理。3. 3 .在公平、基于标准的课程、评估、教学法和领导力等领域，对系统改革的广义模型中的要素进行合作研究。4 .为投资教育的国家组织、工业、企业和基金会提供学术和技术援助，帮助他们理解和使用全面系统的方法来提高学生在科学和数学方面的表现。向希望进行系统改革的教育系统提供学术和技术援助，重点是标准和实现对其系统中所有学生的承诺。在与艾森豪威尔东北和岛屿地区联盟的协调下，八个SSI州提议通过集体启动实施这些建议来展示系统支持网络的有效性。SSI状态将作为一个系统实践资源网络，为新资助的NSF拨款接受者提供成功的实践和工具，从而形成一个由成熟的系统合作伙伴组成的支持协作，这些合作伙伴具有经验经验，可以与现有或新项目合作。

The eight Phase II Statewide Systemic Initiative (SSI) states, consisting of Louisiana, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Texas, and Vermont believe that the substantial investments in systemic reform made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and other key partners must become more networked and optimized. In order to move in this direction, the SSI states developed A Blueprint for Systemic Reform in Science and Mathematics, which describes the essential elements of an empirical theory of reform that would inform the work of the SSI states in the immediate future. The Blueprint includes the following recommendations to ensure effective networking within the SSI states, with NSF, and other states and local districts undergoing systemic reform in science and mathematics:1. Collaborate with researchers at the national level to articulate a generalized model of systemic reform within the context of the evolving empirical theory of systemic reform.2. Synthesize, organize, and disseminate numerous reform products, such as instructional materials for standards alignment, standards-based curricula, assessment instruments, algebra materials, self-assessment tools, and strategies for aligning allocation of resources, and governance with the systemic reform that have been tested and developed by the remaining eight SSIs. 3. Conduct collaborative research on the elements within the generalized model of systemic reform in areas, such as equity, standards-based curricula, assessment, pedagogy, and leadership.4. Provide academic and technical assistance to national organizations, industries, businesses, and foundations investing in education to help them to understand and use a comprehensive systemic approach in improving student performance in science and mathematics.5. Provide academic and technical assistance to education systems that want to undertake systemic reform with emphasis on standards and on reaching a commitment to reach all students in their systems.In coordination with the Eisenhower Regional Alliance of the Northeast and Islands, the eight SSI states propose to demonstrate the effectiveness of a systemic support network by collectively initiating the implementation of these recommendations. The SSI states will serve as a Systemic Practices Resource Network to supply successful practices and tools to newly funded NSF grant recipients, resulting in a support collaborative consisting of mature systemic partners with empirical experience that can work with existing or new programs.
