This three-year project will create six hour-long, interactive broadcasts for junior high school students which are focused on the contributions of females in the development and advancement of mathematics and science. Students will see male and female role models in their work place, learn about contemporary careers and historical contributions, and participate in related mathematics activities before and after the broadcast. Following the broadcasts, the video materials will be professionally edited and widely distributed for further use in schools. Dissemination agreements made at the time of the award included the McDonnell Douglas Foundation, Women and Mathematics Education, Society of Women Engineers, and Western Illinois University Mathematics Resource Office and the Women's Center. Accompanying print materials will be developed for teacher and student use. The materials will represent significant topics that have extended use in the classroom. Teachers will receive greater background information on the role models and additional teaching ideas. The formative evaluation will monitor the development and quality of the broadcasts/videotapes and their effectiveness with students. The summative evaluation will evaluate data on course selection, career plans, and recall of information about female role models. //

这个为期三年的项目将为初中生制作六个小时的互动广播，重点关注女性在数学和科学发展和进步中的贡献。学生们将在工作场所看到男女榜样，了解当代职业和历史贡献，并在播出前后参加相关数学活动。广播结束后，录影资料将经过专业编辑并广泛分发，供学校进一步使用。获奖时签订的传播协议包括麦克唐纳·道格拉斯基金会、妇女和数学教育、女工程师协会、西伊利诺伊大学数学资源办公室和妇女中心。随附的印刷材料将被开发，供教师和学生使用。这些材料将代表在课堂上广泛使用的重要主题。教师将获得更多关于榜样和其他教学理念的背景信息。形成性评估将监测广播/录像带的发展和质量及其对学生的效果。终结性评估将评估有关选课、职业规划和女性榜样信息回忆的数据。//
