New Jersey Math Science Partnership

新泽西数学与科学合作项目（NJ-MSP）将罗格斯大学、罗文大学和基恩大学与12个学区联合起来。在新泽西州长达20年的阿伯特诉伯克诉讼案中，有30个原告中有8个地区，最近从州最高法院下令的补救措施中受益。在NJ-MSP内聚集的12个地区的特点是中小城市地区，贫困，高少数民族和低成就的学生人口。合作伙伴的学校招收了超过75,000名学生，其中27%是非洲裔美国人，31%是西班牙裔。NJ-MSP的目标是：1。通过(a)努力为每个学区制定和实施战略计划，提高合作学区所有学前班-12学生在科学和数学方面的成绩并缩小成绩差距；(b)努力发展内部领导结构和做法，以执行战略计划；(c)提供精心设计的、持续的专业发展。通过(a)为潜在教师提供经验，帮助他们将教学视为一项有吸引力的职业，从而增加和保持合作学区12年级前数学和科学教师的数量、质量和多样性；(b)通过重塑大学数学和科学课程，提高职前教师的内容知识；（三）开展初高中教师入职培训。通过(a)分析学生成绩的变化和(b)记录项目活动来记录结果。

The New Jersey Math and Science Partnership (NJ-MSP) unites Rutgers, Rowan and Kean Universities with twelve school districts. Eight of the districts were among thirty plaintiffs in New Jersey's 20-year-long Abbott vs. Burke litigation, and have recently benefited from remedies ordered by the state Supreme Court. The twelve districts that come together within NJ-MSP are characterized as small- and medium-sized urban districts with poor, high-minority and low achieving student populations. The partners' schools enroll over 75,000 students of whom 27% are African American and 31% are Hispanic. The goals of NJ-MSP are to:1. Increase achievement and reduce achievement gaps in science and mathematics for all preK-12 students in partner school districts by (a) working to develop and implement strategic plans for each district; (b) working to develop internal leadership structures and practices to carry out the strategic plans; and (c) providing well-designed, continuing professional development.2. Increase and sustain the number, quality and diversity of preK-12 teachers of mathematics and science in partner school districts by (a) providing potential teachers with experiences that will help them see teaching as an attractive career; (b) improving preservice teachers' content knowledge by reshaping university math and science courses; and (c) carrying out induction programs for new middle and high school teachers.3. Document outcomes by (a) analyzing changes in student achievement and (b) documenting project activities.
