San Antonio Mathematics and Science Education Partnership

德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校（UTSA）与三个独立学区（ISD），分别是圣安东尼奥、东北、北侧和阿拉莫社区学院区，将与南德克萨斯肿瘤学和血液学、洛克希德马丁、CPS能源和圣安东尼奥市长合作。圣安东尼奥数学和科学教育伙伴关系（SAMSEP）将汇集来自不同人口群体的所有利益攸关方，建立强大而全面的伙伴关系，共同愿景是解决学生在STEM教育方面的地方和区域差距。该项目的长期目标是通过在UTSA创建一个区域科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）中心，为学生在高等教育中取得成功做好准备，并为劳动力需求做出贡献，该中心将作为城市与城市之间协调努力的枢纽。美国有15个学区，5个校区社区学院区和其他4个高等院校。其目标是提高学生在K-16科学、工程和数学方面的成绩，提高所提供STEM课程的严谨性，调整课程，特别是高中和大学一年级之间的课程，并在公民和商业社区中建立广泛的支持基础。公民领导和商界的合作伙伴是学术团体的重要补充，因为他们可以协助进行实践培训，并确定圣安东尼奥不断扩大的制造业和高科技产业的当地工作相关需求。该START项目的结果将纳入需求评估，该评估将为STEM教师参与提供框架，解决五个MSP关键特征，实施和评估试点项目，并支持后续目标伙伴关系的发展。计划中的项目有可能对圣安东尼奥大量服务不足的学生产生积极影响。拟议的活动将作为在不同合作伙伴组织中广泛整合STEM学习的途径，并为垂直对齐和/或水平对齐的K-20学习机构提供额外的协作机会。产品将是一个数字社交网络工具，在最初支持合作伙伴互动之后，将成为其他人的资源。

Project Description The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) in conjunction with three independent school districts (ISD), San Antonio, North East, Northside, and the Alamo Community College District will partner with South Texas Oncology and Hematology, Lockheed Martin, CPS Energy and the Mayor of San Antonio. The San Antonio Mathematics and Science Education Partnership (SAMSEP) will bring together all stakeholders from the various demographic groups to establish a strong and comprehensive partnership with a shared vision of addressing local and regional gaps in student achievement in STEM education. The long-term goal of the project is to prepare students to succeed in higher education and contribute to workforce needs by creating a regional Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Center at UTSA that will serve as a hub for the coordination of efforts between the city?s fifteen school districts, the five campus community college districts and the other four institutions of higher learning. The objectives are to increase student achievement in the sciences, engineering, and mathematics K-16, increase the rigor of STEM courses offered, align curriculum, particularly between high school and first year college, and develop a broad base of support within the civic and business community. Partners in civic leadership and the business community are a critical addition to the academic group as they can assist in practical training and identifying local job related needs in the expanding manufacturing and high tech industry in San Antonio. The results of this START project will be incorporated into a needs assessment that will provide a framework for STEM faculty involvement, address the five MSP key features, implement and assess pilot projects and support the development of a follow up Targeted Partnership. The intended project has the potential to positively impact a large number of underserved students in the San Antonio. The proposed activity will serve as a pathway to broadly integrate STEM learning across diverse partner organizations and to provide additional opportunities for collaborative engagement to vertically aligned and/or horizontally aligned K-20 institutions of learning. A product will be a digital social networking tool that after initially supporting partner interactions will become a resource for others.
