ABSTRACT-0412373A Greater Birmingham Partnership (GBMP): Building Communities of Learners and Leaders in Middle School Mathematics is fundamentally targeting the improvement of middle school mathematics, with implications for both future and current teachers, and with a secondary focus on high school teachers of mathematics. The core partners include the lead organization, Birmingham-Southern College, as well as, the University of Alabama at Birmingham and eight Greater Birmingham Alabama school districts: Bessemer City, Fairfield City, Homewood City, Hoover City, Jefferson County, Mountain Brook City, Shelby County, and Vestavia City School Systems. A significant supporting partner is the Mathematics Education Collaborative (MEC) of the State of Washington.The overarching goal of the GBMP is to significantly improve the mathematics achievement of approximately 22,000 students in grades 6-8, while narrowing the mathematics achievement gaps among varied populations of students, through a number of strategies, which include: (A) engaging all 274 middle grades teachers of mathematics in a series of mathematical content courses centered on deep mathematical problems; (B) leadership development of middle grades teachers as members of Mathematical Support Teams (60 teachers), Mathematics Focus Groups (40 teachers), and Mathematical Study Groups focused on special topics; (C) design/modification of university mathematics courses for pre- and in-service teachers, including the integration of engineering ideas that will focus students on the powerful application of mathematical ideas; (D) placement of interns in classrooms of teachers that model exemplary practices in mathematical instruction; (E) establishment of teacher certification in middle grades mathematics; (F) parental engagement as advocates for high quality mathematics for all students; (H) enhancement of the capacity of administrators to identify and support quality mathematical instruction; and (I) exploration of research questions associated with mathematical learning by middle grades students (metacognitive processes, motivation, social interaction, accommodations), efficacy of professional development strategies, obtaining consistency of solid mathematical reform in eight disparate-some of which serve very privileged populations and others which serve extremely disadvantaged populations-school districts simultaneously, studying pedagogical change in university faculty as a result of their collaborations with K-12 districts, and optimizing features of mesosystems-Institutions of Higher Education and K-12 factors that maximize effectiveness.The GBMP brings together classroom teachers of mathematics, school administrators, university faculty (mathematicians, engineers, and educators), experts in professional development, researchers, community and business leaders, and the Alabama State Department of Education to focus on the curricular, pedagogical, mathematical content, certification, and parental interests that must be synergistically addressed in order to support all middle grades learners in acquiring the mathematical power necessary for success in the 21st century.

摘要-0412373A大伯明翰合作伙伴关系（GBMP）：中学数学的学习者和领导者的建立社区从根本上是针对中学数学的改善，对未来和现任教师的影响以及对数学高中老师的次要关注。 核心合作伙伴包括领导组织，伯明翰 - 南方学院以及伯明翰的阿拉巴马大学和八个大伯明翰阿拉巴马州学区：贝塞默市，费尔菲尔德市，霍姆伍德城，胡佛市，杰斐逊县，杰斐逊县，山布鲁克城，谢尔比县，谢尔比县和维斯塔维亚市学校系统。 一个重要的支持伙伴是华盛顿州的数学教育合作（MEC）。GBMP的总体目标是显着改善6至8年级中约22,000名学生的数学成就，同时缩小数学成就成就的差距，包括学生在不同的策略中，包括一名数量的各种策略，包括：（A）。数学内容课程以深层数学问题为中心； （b）将中级教师的领导力发展为数学支持团队（60名教师），数学焦点小组（40名教师）和数学研究小组的成员； （c）为教师和在职教师的大学数学课程设计/修改，包括工程思想的整合，这些思想将集中于学生的强大数学思想应用； （d）将实习生安置在教师的教室中，以模拟数学教学中的模范实践； （e）在中级数学中建立教师认证； （f）作为所有学生的高质量数学倡导者的父母参与； （h）提高管理员识别和支持质量数学指令的能力； （i）探索中年学生与数学学习相关的研究问题（元认知过程，动机，社交互动，适应性），专业发展策略的疗效，在八个差异的人中获得稳固数学改革的一致性，其中有差不多的人群非常有特权的人群和其他人，这些人群非常卑鄙，这是一家人的同时进行的，并在一定程度上逐步进行了阶级，研究了一家人的同时进行的阶级，并在研究方面，研究了一家人的同时发展，并在研究中逐渐发展。 K-12地区，并优化了高等教育中介质系统的特征和最大化有效性的K-12因素。GBMP汇集了数学，学校管理人员，大学教职员工（数学家，工程师和教育工作者）的课堂教师，专业发展，研究人员，研究人员，社区和商业部门的专家，专家，alabamagrama必须协同解决的认证和父母利益，以支持所有中级学习者获得21世纪成功所必需的数学能力。
