Urban Systemic Program in Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education (USP): Jackson Urban Systemic Program

杰克逊公立学区（JPS）提议通过杰克逊城市系统计划（JUSP）显著推进所有K-12学生的科学、数学和技术教育（SMT）。该地区计划通过建立现有的基础设施来完成这项任务，这些基础设施主要是通过数学和科学成就综合伙伴关系、由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）资助的教学研究中心以及由NSF与美国国立卫生研究院合作资助的K-12高等教育伙伴关系发展起来的。这一基础设施的特点是一个模范的领导团队，科学和数学的内容标准，支持全民SMT教育的政策，财政和智力资源的融合，以及提高校长、教师和学生能力的共同愿景。为了实现USP的目标和宗旨，学区打算为所有学生提供数学和科学的基础知识，以便他们的理解，能力和学术成就能够使他们在世界各地的同龄人中表现出色或超过他们。主要目标是：(1)提高学生在科学和数学方面的成绩；(2)提高科学和数学教学队伍的能力；(3)加强本区维持SMT改革的能力。因此，JPS将利用USP来提高其能力，通过明确的K-12科学和数学课程，更多样化和高素质的教学队伍，以及更强大和更专注的合作伙伴关系来提高学生的成绩。

The Jackson Public School District (JPS) proposes to significantly advance the science, mathematics, and technology education (SMT) of all K-12 students through the Jackson Urban Systemic Program (JUSP). The District plans to accomplish this task by building on the existing infrastructure developed primarily through the Comprehensive Partnership for Mathematics and Science Achievement, the Center for Research in Teaching and Learning funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the K-12 Higher Education Partnership funded by NSF in partnership with the National Institutes of Health. This infrastructure is characterized by an exemplary leadership team, content standards for science and mathematics, policies in support of SMT education for all, the convergence of fiscal and intellectual resources, and a shared vision for improving the capacity of principals, teachers, and students. To accomplish the goals and objectives of the USP, the District intends to provide all of its students with the fundamentals of mathematics and science so that their understanding, ability, and academic achievement will enable them to perform at or above their peers from around the world. The major goals are: (1) to increase student achievement in science and mathematics; (2) to increase competency in the science and mathematics instructional workforce; and (3) to strengthen the District's capacity to sustain SMT reform. Hence, JPS will use the USP to improve its capacity to enhance student achievement via an articulated K-12 science and mathematics curriculum, a more diverse and highly qualified instructional workforce, and stronger and more focused partnerships.
