Psi pmi effective new approaches to high school science and k 12 mathematics
1. The Progressive Science Initiative (PSI) &
Progressive Mathematics Initiative (PMI):
AN EFFECTIVE NEW
APPROACH TO STUDENT

4. The US faces a serious challenge
in math and science education
US student achievement is considered
internationally uncompetitive
The US percentage of the world’s
scientists and engineers is shrinking
Two useful reports: Rising above the
Gathering Storm and The Perfect Storm
5. Progressive Science Initiative (PSI) &
Progressive Mathematics Initiative
(PMI)
• PSI initially developed for teaching HS
science to students
• PSI extended to creating new HS
science teachers
• PMI developed using PSI Methods: For
teaching K-12 mathematics to students
6. The Progressive Science
Initiative (PSI)
Began 10 years ago by the teachers at
Bergen Tech in Teterboro, NJ
Well documented results
Doctoral dissertation, peer reviewed journal
article, ongoing evaluation
8. AP Exams as a Goal
Provides a standard metric
Recognized by K-12, colleges & universities,
students and parents
Correlated to international competitiveness
Gives students access to top colleges &
universities plus scholarships

SMART Notebook presentation
SMART Response Formative Assessment
Teacher as part of social group
19. Assessment Strategies
Grades based only on what students know
and can do – Tests, quizzes and labs
Retakes for all assessments
Grades are not subjective
Correlated to End of Course Tests
(APs, EOC Algebra I, Common Core, etc.)
25. Classroom Technology
Computer and Printer
SMART board with Projector
SMART Responders
Round Tables and chairs
26. www.njctl.org
All PSI course materials are posted on this site
Teachers can freely access all of them
Students can freely access all but assessments
31. www.njctl.org
• All course materials are
posted
• Open Source Approach
- Free access to all
• 50,000+ hits per month
• 5000+ unique visitors
per month, and growing
(worldwide)
32. Collaboration Through
Learning Communities
Shared materials on www.njctl.org
Interschool communication
Teaching and Learning shared virtually
33. Critical Shortage of Science Teachers
PSI has shown “all students can learn
science”.
We believe “all teachers can learn science”
PSI teaches science to skilled teachers.
The goal is to get the best teachers to
become the best science teachers:
“Teaching is hard; science is easy”
34. Kean – CTL
Endorsement Program
Teachers are taught the science content, and
how to teach it
Teachers are provisionally authorized to teach
a first level PSI course
Teachers take advanced courses while
teaching the first course
36. Completing Soon
60 additional teachers – chemistry and physics
6 school districts
35 Schools: 21 current + 14 additional
Now teaching about 4000 students physics or
chemistry
37. Provides Access to
Rigorous Courses
New PSI Physics Teachers:
Taught physics to 1200 urban students last
year who wouldn’t have had access otherwise
Are teaching more than 7000 students this year
1/3 of students taught last year requested to
take AP Physics B the next year, along with
Chemistry

N.J. educator develops new formula for teaching physics
An award-winning teacher in New Jersey's Bergen County has developed a way to teach
physics that relies heavily on algebra, allowing physics to be taught before biology and
chemistry. Robert Goodman's physics curriculum is being piloted in 21 New Jersey
schools and is becoming a national model for science education. March 11, 2010
43. Middle Schools Mathematics
Program
Began 4 years ago with three Middle Schools:
Deptford, Egg Harbor and Lawrence
Its goal was to increase the number of students
completing Algebra I by the end of 8th grade
Student performance on the Accuplacer was
used to measure Algebra I achievement
46. The Progressive Mathematics
Initiative (PMI)
PSI approaches were used to develop two
courses: Pre-Algebra and Algebra
Combines content developed by six middle
schools with the methods proven within PSI
Will measure results with NJ EOC Tests: ASK
tests and EOC Algebra I test
47. The Progressive Mathematics
Initiative (PMI)
PSI methods were first used to develop two
courses: Pre-Algebra and Algebra
Being piloted now with positive anecdotal
evidence
Will measure results with NJ EOC Tests:
ASK tests and Achieve EOC Algebra I test
48. The Progressive Mathematics
Initiative (PMI)
Algebra II and Pre-Calculus being piloted now
College Algebra being piloted at Kean
University
Being extended to K-5 Mathematics by June
2011 - Common Core aligned
K-12 to be completed with AP Calculus and
Geometry during Summer 2011
51. PSI and PMI are Solutions
That the U.S. faces serious challenges in
math and science education is well
understood
There has been much concern, but fewer
solutions
PSI and PMI represent those solutions
52. Progressive Teaching Initiatives
Interest has been expressed in using PSI and
PMI Methods for other subjects: PTI
Literacy
History
Global Studies
Music
Engineering
Extension of PTI to other subjects areas has
broad potential
The only limits are time, money and imagination

A Foundation created and initially funded by the NJEA in 2006 Its mission is to empower teachers to lead change so that all children have access to a high quality education One aspect of that mission is to work with teachers to spread and improve successful programs so that all students benefit
