UMC seeks toimprove mathematics educationin inner-city schools and identify new models forthe professional developmentof mathematics teachers by supportingcollaboration among mathematics teachers and mathematicians frominstitutions of higher learningand industry. Teachers are encouraged toidentify with and participatein a broad-based local mathematics community.The project is currently operating in 11 cities across thecountry. A variety of qualitative and quantitative methodswere used to evaluate the project.Me following summary findingsare presented:(1) the Education Development Center (EDC),a nonprofit research and development organization, assumed more responsibilityfor management of the project, freeing the technicalassistance component and the outreach component to spend more time helpingindividual sites with substantive problems; (2) individualcollaboratives began to view themselves as members of a larger networkthat could accomplish greater goals as a result of constantpressure from EDC;(3) individual sites need to develop firmermanagement structures; and (4) the sites did achievesome common goals because of the unifying focus provided by EDC and becausemany sites had resolved basic issues of finance and organization.Descriptions of the 11 UMC collaboratives are included. Alist of 10 references andsummary reports frcm the 11 collaborativesare appended.

INTRODUCTION In 1984, the Ford Foundation initiated the Urban Mathematics Collaborative (UMC) project to improve mathematics education in inner-city schools and to identify new models for meeting the ongoing professional needs of teachers.In February. 1985, the Ford Foundation awarded five grants to establish urban mathematics collaboratives in Cleveland, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and San Francisco.In addition, the Ford Foundation established a Documentation Project to monitor the activities of the new collaboratives and a Technical Assistance Project (TAP) to serve as a source of information for the collaborative projects (Romberg & Pitman, 1985). During the next 18 months, UMC projects were funded in Durham, Pittsburgh, St In Diego, St. Louis, Memphis, and New Orleans, bringing to 11 the total number of urban mathematics collaboratives (Romberg, Webb, Pitman, & Pittelman, 1987; Webb, Pittelman, Romberg, Pitman, & Williams, 1988; Webb, Pittelman, Romberg, Pitman, Fade 11, & Middleton, 1989).In August, 1987, an Outreach Project was funded to publicize and expand the UMC effort. A map of the UMC project appears in Figure 1. In each of the 11 cities, the UMC project continues o support collaboration among mathematics teachers, and between teachers and other mathematicians from institutions of higher education and industries, and to encourage teacher membership and participation in a broad-based local mathematics community. Since the project's inception in 1984, it has become clear that the teacher is and will remain the hub of the educational process. But it also has become evident that many teachers--and especially those in inner-city schoolsare overworked, lacking in support and material resources, and isolated from their colleagues, from other professionals, and from the rapidly changing field of mathematics. The collaborative project remains rooted in the premise that collegiality among professional mathematicians can reduce teachers' sense of isolation, foster their professional enthusiasm, expose them to a vast array of new developments and trends in mathematics, and encourage innovation in classroom teaching. The Ford Foundation's concomitant commitment of human and financial resources provides a support network to allow such collegiality to take place. 1 2 The Urban Mathematics Collaborative Project Funded by The Ford Foundation Tochnical Assistanc & Outreach Projects MInneapolls-St Paul Education Devlopment Cnter, Inc.

A survey was sent to 375 randomly selected districts throughout the State requesting information about model programs dealing with any of the following: curriculum, staffing patterns, office organization, gifted programs, slow learner programs, programs for the emotionally disturbed, individualized learning, advisory committees, career and vocational education, the use of department chairmen, or other innovative programs. The returned data were organized into a taxonomy of educational programs in order to facilitate easyAetrieval. The six major categories of 1) alternative education, 2) career-vocational education, 3) curriculum, 4) instructional techniques, 5) management, and 6) special education were developed; subcategories were constructed for each of the foregoing and programs arranged alphabetically in each class. Each of the more than 800 citations in the taxonomy supplies information on the program's title, a description of its features, the district's name, location and chief characteristics, and the person to contact for additional details.
