Submitted under the guidelines for "Local Systemic Change through Teacher Enhancement," this five-year project has as its goal to systemically guide professional growth for every elementary and middle school mathematics teacher in the district through professional development, team planning and collaboration, and collegial coaching. The project -- a partnership between New Mexico State University and Gadsden Independent School District -- develops a sustainable school and community base to support the implementation of curriculum and instruction aligned with New Mexico Education Standards and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Curriculum and Professional Development Standards. The 1,200 square mile district lies along the border of New Mexico and Mexico and serves about 13,000 students. There are twelve elementary schools and three middle schools. More than 50% of the students experience English language deficiencies. Ninety-two percent of the students are of Latino/Hispanic origin. Approximately 94% of the students qualify for the Free and Reduced School Lunch Program. The school drop-out rate, as early as middle school, is high. Nine of the twelve elementary schools and all three middle schools will be on probationary status as over 75% of the students scored below Proficient on the state mandated test. The project provides 130 hours of formal professional development as summer institutes and academic year follow-up. The elementary grades will use "Investigations in Number, Data and Space" while the middle grades will use "Connected Mathematics." There are 450 teachers in the district.

这个五年的项目是根据“通过教师增强的本地系统变化”指南提交的，它的目标是通过专业发展，团队计划与协作以及大学教练以及该地区的每个小学和中学数学老师的专业增长。 该项目 - 新墨西哥州立大学与加兹登独立学区之间的合作关系 - 开发了一个可持续的学校和社区基础，以支持实施课程和教学，并与新墨西哥州的教育标准以及国家数学课程教师委员会委员会一致。 1200平方英里的地区位于新墨西哥州和墨西哥的边界，为约13,000名学生提供服务。 有十二所小学和三所中学。 超过50％的学生经历了英语缺陷。 百分之九十二的学生是拉丁裔/西班牙裔。 大约94％的学生有资格参加免费和减少的学校午餐计划。 最早在中学时，学校辍学率很高。 十二所小学和所有三所中学中的九所将处于缓刑状态，因为超过75％的学生得分低于国家强制性考试。 随着夏季机构和学年的随访，该项目提供了130个小时的正式专业发展。 小学等级将使用“数量，数据和空间调查”，而中级将使用“连接的数学”。 该地区有450名教师。
