Planning for a Math and Science Institute Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley of California

大峡谷数学和科学合作伙伴关系将加州最大的9-12高中区与当地大学结合在一起，以促进改善数学和科学教育的共同目标，并最终增加该地区数学和科学素养的劳动力规模。为了实现这些目标，加州州立大学、贝克斯菲尔德（Cyndham）和克恩高中学区（KHSD）正在合作创建一个研究所，重点是为教师提供结构化和指导性的真实研究参与体验，以培养一批数学和科学内容、教学法和领导力方面的大师级教师。协作社区合作伙伴的努力，包括学校，科学博物馆，工业克恩县督学，以及共同服务于社区咨询小组的非营利组织，以提供支持，在规划的研究所。启动伙伴关系的规划过程正在进行的核心规划小组组成的克恩县学科教师在科学和数学，教育教师，高等教育管理人员，以及KHSD的教师和主要管理人员。规划小组正通过社区咨询小组与其支助伙伴组织密切合作。核心合作伙伴及其社区合作伙伴共同致力于改善该地区的科学教育，并建立长期可持续的成功科学合作伙伴关系。该奖项由2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助。

The Great Valley Math and Science Partnership is bringing together the largest 9-12 high school district in California with the local university to promote a common goal of improving math and science education and ultimately increasing the size of math and science-literate workforce in the region. To accomplish these goals, California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) and the Kern High School District (KHSD) are partnering in an effort to create an institute with a focus on structured and guided authentic research participation experiences for teachers to develop a group of master teachers in math and science content, pedagogy and leadership. Collaborative community partners in the effort include the Kern County Superintendent of Schools, science museums, industry, and non-profits which together serve on the Community Advisory Panel to provide support in the planning of the institute.The planning process of the Start Partnership is being conducted by a Core Planning Team consisting of CSUB disciplinary faculty in the sciences and math, education faculty, higher education administrators, and KHSD teachers and key administrators. The planning team is working closely with its supporting partner organizations through a Community Advisory Panel. The core partners and their community partners share a deep commitment for improving science education in the region and to creating a successful science partnership that is sustainable in the long term.This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).
