Mission statement The site's collaborators About Investigations AEP Award Mission statement The goal of this website is to support teachers who are implementing Investigations in Number, Data and Space in their classrooms. The site is also valuable for other educators and parents who need more information about this elementary mathematics program. Since this site is an open forum for teachers' and others' opinions and ideas, the views represented here do not necessarily represent the views of the site's collaborators. Our experience has shown that Investigations has the power to transform the way teachers teach and think about mathematics. But the road to transformation is not easy. This site is here to help. The site's collaborators This website is a collaboration between CESAME, the LAB at Brown, and the Math Forum. Since this site is an open forum for opinions and ideas, the views represented here do not necessarily represent the views of its collaborators. CESAME, The Center for the Enhancement of Science and Mathematics Education , is located at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. CESAME has provided financial and technical support to over sixty districts in Massachusetts that are implementing standards-based math and science curricula. Thirteen of these districts and over 50 schools began implementing Investigations with CESAME assistance. The staff at CESAME has a close working relationship with both district leaders and TERC, the developers of Investigations, with whom they discuss what support teachers, schools, and districts need through the various stages of implementation.

School-Community Collaboration for Learning and Teaching: Findings from Research and Practice Fall 1999, v15-4 -Meredith I. Honig, Joseph Kahne, Milbrey W. McLaughlin Several articles in this issue of New Designs for Youth Development suggest that youth organizations can be important partners with schools in expanding youths' opportunities to learn. For example, service learning programs like the one described by Curtis Ogden in this issue can bring together schools and community agencies to enhance youths' learning and strengthen their neighborhoods. Mary Jane Harkins' article, "Supporting Students Through Community Connections" highlights how school/community initiatives promote an authentic learning environment and help sustain rural communities. Last, John Terry presents the Gulf of Maine Institute Without Walls as an example of schools and community-based environmental groups partnering around learning outcomes for youth What do we know about why collaboration between schools and community agencies such as youth organizations, health and human services agencies, local businesses, and others may be a viable strategy for improving youths' learning?

Feature By Justine K. Brown Community Colleges Come Alive With K-12 Collaboration MARICOPA . MIAMI-DADE . CUYAHOGA "AS WE EXPAND THIS PROJECT, WE'RE EXPANDING AWARENESS OF THE VALUE OF THE USE OF COMPUTERS AND PARTICULARLY THE INTERNET." Three community college districts Maricopa, Miami-Dade and Cuyahoga are currently involved in a project that could potentially transform the way K-12 teachers nationwide are trained when it comes to technology. These institutions are also leading a new trend in seamless collaboration among educational institutions. According to Cindy Miles, vice president and chief operating officer at the League for Innovation in the Community College, the long-range goal of the Alliance project is to significantly aid the teacher preparation challenge schools currently face. "Through turnkey training and collaboration between institutions, we hope to train 9,000 K-12 teachers in the next three years," she said. PIECES OF THE PUZZLE The Alliance project includes a comprehensive training package comprised of exemplary, standards-based curriculum materials available on the Internet; video documentaries of model lessons and best practices using those curriculum materials; and print and electronic support materials to guide teachers in the implementation of the materials. The model is designed to build on the experiences of the project partners to create a national infrastructure of local partnerships involving community colleges working with neighboring schools. The project partners hope the model will be disseminated to all 50 states.

May 2000 MathCo Celebration Chris Ohana, who relocated last August from Iowa State University in Ames, IA to Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA, recently traveled to Iowa to attend the celebration she describes below. Thanks, Chris, for the article and photo. Ed. Glenda Lappan was the featured guest at a celebration of the achievements of MathCo, an Exxon project in Des Moines, Iowa. Dr. Lappan was caught in a whirlwind of teaching first-graders and fourth-graders and speaking with school board members and administrators. She had the opportunity to chat with teachers about mathematics teaching, learning, and standards. Her day was also punctuated by a staple of Iowa hospitality: generous portions of food. The legacy of MathCo will continue as our new teachers begin their careers. Two were hired by King and Perkins. The others are scattered from Iowa to Texas, Idaho and New Mexico. Our King and Perkins teachers have access to an enriched set of resources and knowledge as they pursue their careers. The collaboration of ISU with the schools is sustained in a new form, TechCo, through a focus on technology and teaching. It will build on the successes of MathCo as it blazes its own trail. At the evening reception, Dr. Lappan quipped that she did not realize that she had been invited to a love-in. Perhaps that is the greatest achievement of MathCo. Participants from the schools and universities worked together as colleagues and grew in their understanding of our joint commitment to improving education. It was a staggering effort from faculties at King, Perkins, ISU, our students, and the extended Exxon family. Thanks to all.

Distance Learning Technologies Our project should include, where appropriate, other distance learning technologies, such as video teleconferencing, e-mail listserves, chat rooms, CD-ROMS, etc. For example, low-cost video teleconferencing systems such as Intel ProShare or C-Phone can be effective for person-to-person collaboration or information sharing among State System Schools and our partners in K-12 education, community colleges and business/industry. Effective large group video teleconferences require more expensive systems, such as VTEL or PictureTel. We need an inventory of available video conferencing capabilities among State System participants in the NSF project. These more advanced technologies should not be the focus of collaboration, but rather one of a number of tools designed for building closer connections. Less expensive, more widely distributed technologies, such as e-mail, should be the primary distance learning technologies used for collaborative purposes.

Calendar Helpline Chalkboard, Alumni Magazine Mentoring Network ... Office of External Relations ILF The Inquiry Learning Forum: Technology as a tool for creating communities by Nadine F.M. Pinède When Julie Moore was a high school math teacher, there was something she always wanted to do, but never got the chance. "I spent a lot of time picking up tips from other teachers, but rarely did I observe another teacher teach, and never did I see myself teach," she says. As the project director for the newly renamed Inquiry Learning Forum, Moore is helping bring this and other opportunities to Indiana's math and science teachers. Launched last spring with a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the Inquiry Learning Forum - formerly the Internet Learning Forum - is presenting a new face to its members. The ILF reflects the emphasis of the project better than its former name. "We don't want technology to be the tail that wags the dog of education," says Donald Cunningham, Barbara B. Jacobs Chair in Education and Technology and director of the Center for Research on Learning and Technology, which houses the ILF in the School of Education. Even though the name and look have changed, the heart of the Web site remains consistent: creating communities of practice for educators. The ILF allows math and science teachers across Indiana the opportunity to "visit" a classroom and watch other teachers in action, to share lesson plans, and to reflect on what went on during classes, all from the comfort of their computers.

Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) is a philosophy of teaching, based on teachers understanding a set of principles that identify specific problem types characterizing the different ways children view the concepts of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It focuses on solution strategies that students apply when solving problems and the student progression through specific sequences when applying these solution strategies. In application, CGI becomes a problem solving approach teachers use to teach mathematical concepts and skills that emphasize building on the experiences and mathematical knowledge children already possess. Teachers learn how to use this understanding as a basis for assessing student’s thinking and making instructional decisions. The Phoenix CGI grant began in September 1996, in collaboration with the Phoenix USI. At that time, both grants worked in tandem to meet the goals and objectives set forth by the two grants. Eventually, because of the efforts of the USI, CGI was able to change its scope to focus on teacher leadership development in CGI and in content strands beyond the original whole number research to include children's thinking in Rational Number, Algebra and Geometry/Measurement. Teacher leaders participated in workshops, tested new constructs in their classrooms and conducted case studies and classroom research in order to deepen both their content and pedagogical content knowledge; products generated by the Geometry classroom research projects have been submitted for publication.
