The Alliance for Improvement of Mathematics Skills PreK-16 (AIMS PK-16) is a partnership of nine independent school districts in South Texas and two Hispanic-serving institutions of higher education, Del Mar (Community) College and Texas A&M University, Kingsville. The partner school districts serve roughly 30,000 students, of whom 61% are minority students and 50% are economically disadvantaged students. The overarching goal of AIMS PK-16 is to prepare all students in the partner districts for success in college-level mathematics courses by the time that they graduate from high school. This will require the partnership to close significant achievement gaps among student groups, especially raising the achievement of a sizeable Hispanic student population.
The Principal Investigator of AIMS PreK-16 is Lee Sloan.
More information can be
found on a separate web site created by this project: http:// www.delmar.edu/ aims.
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Alliance
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
AIMS PreK-16 project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
