- Summary:
-
In 1984, the Ford Foundation initiated the Urban Mathematics Collaborative (UMC) project to contribute to the improvement of mathematics education in inner-city schools, and more generally, to enhance the professional life of teachers. By 1986, the Ford Foundation had funded collaboratives in 11 urban areas. This document describes the overall UMC project, as well as the Technical Assistance Project (TAP) designed to serve as a source of information for the collaborative projects. In addition, project descriptions for the collaboratives in Cleveland, Ohio; Durham, North Carolina; Los Angeles, California; Memphis, Tennessee; New Orleans, Louisiana; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; St. Louis, Missouri; San Diego, California; San Francisco, California; and the Twin Cities project of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, are provided. In each of the cities, the UMC project supports collaboration among groups of mathematicians from high schools, higher education institutions, and industries, and encourages the entry of teachers into a larger mathematics community. The appendices include the summary reports submitted by the 11 mathematics collaboratives and by TAP. (TW)
