Closing the Mathematics Achievement Gap of African American Students: A Conference on the Issues The National Alliance of Black School Educators (NABSE) and the Benjamin Banneker Association (BBA), in collaboration with The McKenzie Group (TMG), propose a four-month initiative to develop a broad-scale action agenda to improve mathematics teaching and learning for all students, but particularly students of African American descent. As the first stage of a broader plan to improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) achievement nationwide, the mathematics initiative seeks funding to convene a conference of nationally recognized researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to develop an integrated, research-based design for closing the achievement gap, as well as a framework for implementing appropriate programmatic and policy strategies. Intellectual Merit: The project will advance knowledge and understanding of effective strategies and challenges for increasing K-12 African American mathematics achievement, as well as promote collaborate among the array of organizations committed to conducting action-research to close the African American mathematics achievement gap. NABSE and BBA, two leading advocacy and professional development organizations committed to K-12 STEM reform, along with TMG.s prior experience with STEM technical assistance, provide a solid grounding for this research and development (R&D) effort. Broader Impacts: The development of formal post-conference discussion and concept papers will broaden the impact beyond the institutions and organizations represented by conference participants. Furthermore, the combined memberships of over 7,500 African American educators from school districts throughout the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean will provide a powerful professional network for sharing the conference publications and findings and directly impacting classroom instruction. NABSE.s 98 regional affiliates that are located within BBA.s six regions will also provide venues for continuing dialogue and collaboration at the regional and local levels. Both organizations will use their electronic communications networks that include websites and email listservs and their independent national conferences to further support these efforts. Finally, the overarching goal of increasing African American mathematics achievement will contribute to national education goals of improved K-12 student achievement in mathematics

缩小非裔美国学生的数学成绩差距：关于该问题的会议全国黑人学校教育者联盟 (NABSE) 和本杰明班纳克协会 (BBA) 与麦肯齐集团 (TMG) 合作，提出了一项为期四个月的倡议制定一项广泛的行动议程，以改善所有学生，特别是非裔美国学生的数学教学和学习。 作为提高全国科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 成就的更广泛计划的第一阶段，数学倡议寻求资金，召开一次由全国认可的研究人员、政策制定者和从业者组成的会议，以开发一个综合的、基于研究的项目旨在缩小成就差距的设计，以及实施适当方案和政策战略的框架。 智力优势：该项目将增进对提高 K-12 非裔美国人数学成绩的有效策略和挑战的认识和理解，并促进致力于开展行动研究以缩小非裔美国人数学成绩差距的一系列组织之间的合作。 NABSE 和 BBA 这两个致力于 K-12 STEM 改革的领先倡导和专业发展组织，加上 TMG 之前在 STEM 技术援助方面的经验，为这项研发 (R&D) 工作奠定了坚实的基础。 更广泛的影响：正式的会后讨论和概念文件的制定将扩大影响力，超越会议参与者所代表的机构和组织。 此外，来自美国、加拿大和加勒比地区学区的 7,500 多名非裔美国教育工作者的会员资格将提供一个强大的专业网络，用于分享会议出版物和研究结果，并直接影响课堂教学。 NABSE. 位于 BBA. 六个区域内的 98 个区域附属机构也将为区域和地方层面的持续对话与合作提供场所。 两个组织将利用其电子通信网络（包括网站和电子邮件列表服务器）及其独立的全国会议来进一步支持这些努力。最后，提高非裔美国人数学成绩的总体目标将有助于实现提高 K-12 学生数学成绩的国家教育目标
