Framing Student Success: Increasing Math and Science Achievement through Construction Technology

项目成员正在开发和实施一种教学和表达模式，为学生从高中到社区学院到四年制大学再到职业生涯建立联系。该项目为学生提供支持，增强他们在所选学科的目标感，提高他们在数学和科学方面的能力，并在建筑技术领域追求技术职业。该项目解决了高中生在数学、科学和技术方面准备不足的问题，并通过向高中教师和辅导员告知大学学习或建筑职业的要求和回报，培养教师在高中课程中融入技术教学的能力，为对建筑行业感兴趣的学生提升这些技能的需求。并为高中生提供暑期讲习班和工作经验。此外，政府亦为学生制订进修专上教育或从事建造业的途径，以协助学生在建造业中更熟练地运用科技。有关建筑技术的新课程及其实施策略正在开发中，以便全国的社区大学可以提高数学、科学和技术教学水平。该项目还为俄勒冈州西部农村和城市的不同高中群体提供服务，并跨越这些高中的课程界限，以确保该项目在全国的社区和学校中可复制。

The project members are developing and implementing a model of instruction and articulation that creates linkages for students from high school to community college to four-year university to career. The project provides student support which reinforces their sense of purpose in their chosen discipline and enhances their ability to excel in math and science and pursue technical careers in the areas of construction technology. This project addresses the problem of high school students' underpreparation in math, science, and technology and the need to upgrade these skills for students interested in the construction industries by informing high school teachers and counselors about the requirements and rewards of college study or careers in construction, developing capacity for teachers to infuse technology instruction across high school curricula, and providing summer workshops and work experiences for high school students. Pathways for students to pursue post secondary education or careers in construction are also being mapped out to assist students in becoming better trained in the use of technology in construction. New courses in construction technologies and the strategies to implement them are being developed so that community colleges nationwide may upgrade math, science, and technical instruction. The project is also serving a diverse group of high schools in rural and urban western Oregon and cutting across curricular bounds in those high schools to ensure that this project will be replicable in communities and schools nationwide.
