A long-standing challenge in secondary mathematics education is broadening participation in STEM. Reform of schools and districts to support this goal can be challenging to sustain. This implementation and improvement project will study a successful, ambitious mathematics reform effort in high-needs secondary schools. The goal is to develop resources and tools to support other high-needs schools and districts in transforming and sustaining their mathematics programs. The model focuses on the resources required for change and the aspects of the organization that support or constrain change in mathematics teaching and learning. The project team includes school district partners that have successfully transformed mathematics teaching to better support students’ learning. The project will develop a model for understanding the demands and resources from an organizational perspective that support ambitious mathematics teaching and learning reforms. Demands are requirements for physical resources or efforts that need to be met in the instructional system. Resources are the material, human, instructional, and organizational requirements needed to address demands. The project will develop the model through a collaboration of researchers, professional development leaders, students, teachers, coaches, and administrators to: (1) understand the demands created throughout a school or district when implementing an ambitious secondary mathematics program in a high-need context; (2) identify the resources and organizational dynamics necessary to address the demands and thus sustain the program; and (3) articulate a model for a sustainable ambitious secondary mathematics program in high-need settings that has validity across a range of implementation contexts. To develop the model over multiple iterations, the project will examine the demands and resources related to implementing an ambitious mathematics program, the perspectives of stakeholders, the organizational structure, and the program goals and implementation. The project will also conduct a systematic literature review to bring together findings from the successful district and other research findings. The data collection and analysis process will include interviews, document analysis, collection of artifacts, and observations across four phases of the project. Participants will include students, teachers, instructional support personnel, and administrators (from schools and the district). The Discovery Research preK-12 program (DRK-12) seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics by preK-12 students and teachers, through the research and development of new innovations and approaches. Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for the projects.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

中学数学教育的长期挑战正在扩大STEM的参与。改革学校和地区以支持这一目标可能是维持的挑战。该实施和改进项目将研究高需求中学的成功，雄心勃勃的数学改革工作。目的是开发资源和工具，以支持其他高需求的学校和地区转变和维持其数学计划。该模型着重于变革所需的资源以及支持或限制数学教学教学变化的组织的各个方面。该项目团队包括成功改变数学教学以更好地支持学生学习的学区合作伙伴。该项目将开发一个模型，以从组织的角度来理解需求和资源，以支持雄心勃勃的数学教学改革。需求是在教学系统中需要满足的物理资源或努力的要求。资源是满足需求所需的物质，人类，教学和组织要求。该项目将通过研究人员，专业发展领导者，学生，教师，教练和管理人员的合作来开发模型：（1）在在高需求的情况下实施雄心勃勃的二级数学计划时，了解整个学校或地区所产生的需求； （2）确定解决需求并维持该计划所必需的资源和组织动态； （3）在高需求环境中具有可持续雄心勃勃的二级数学计划的模型，该模型在一系列实施环境中具有有效性。为了在多次迭代中开发模型，该项目将研究与实施雄心勃勃的数学计划，利益相关者的观点，组织结构以及计划的目标和实施相关的需求和资源。该项目还将进行系统的文献综述，以汇总成功地区和其他研究结果的发现。数据收集和分析过程将包括访谈，文档分析，工件收集以及项目四个阶段的观察结果。参与者将包括学生，教师，教学支持人员和管理人员（来自学校和地区）。 Discovery Research Prek-12计划（DRK-12）试图通过新的创新和方法的研究和开发来大大增强PreK-12学生和教师对科学，技术，工程和数学的学习和教学。 DRK-12计划中的项目建立在STEM教育和先前的研发工作中，为项目提供理论和经验理由。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估来支持的。
