奥巴马与美国中小学数学和科学教育

Obama’s Reform on Math and Science Education

奥巴马多次指出，美国的未来取决于数学与科学教育的水平。“地方分权”制造成了各州课程标准的降低与混乱，从而导致在数学、科学等学科教育已远远落后于其他国家。为了改变这一局面，奥巴马颁布了《州共同核心课程标准》，统一并提高数学与科学教育标准；通过“竞争卓越”、“为创新而教”等计划拨款大力支持数学与科学教育改革；启动“尊重项目”等计划来吸引并培养高素质的优秀数学与科学教师；在改革中还注重吸纳民间力量的支持。目前，美国数学与科学教育正朝着预定的方向发展，也引发了各界对数学与科学教育的热潮。
