9453106 Thorsen This project is a collaboration between Georgia Tech, the Georgia Initiative in Mathematics and Science (GIMS), Clark Atlanta University, Georgia Southern University, Georgia State University, and the University of Georgia. It focuses upon changing the structure of educational programs which prepare mathematics and science teachers, which should lead to significant changes in the ways girls are taught mathematics and science. The goal is for quality mathematics and science education to be equally accessible to both boys and girls in the state of Georgia, i.e., that all students are encouraged to explore and discover mathematics and science, are challenged, are successful in their explorations, and have opportunities to develop awareness of career opportunities in these fields. In order for access and equity to become realities, permanent changes must be made in the structure of science, education, engineering and mathematics departments. These changes include incorporating the current understanding of social, learning, and teaching factors which facilitate the interest, motivation, and achievement of girls and women in science, engineering, and mathematics. This goal is consistent with the vision and goals of Georgia's Statewide Systemic Initiative, the Georgia Initiative in Mathematics and Science (GIMS). This project furthers and enhances the work of GIMS, and is structured so that collaboration with GIMS is intrinsic. The projects's specific objectives are: (1) to initiate and implement the redesign of teacher-preparation programs, including instruction in science, engineering, and mathematics courses, so that they address issues that impact girls and women; and (2) to provide professional development opportunities for faculty and graduate/undergraduate teaching assistants of pre-service students emphasizing positive interventions strategies on gender issues. To achieve the goals, project strands have been developed. These are: (1) a framew ork for institutional self-study (colleges/universities); (2) a tool kit of materials for teacher-preparation courses; (3) professional development of faculty and teaching assistants; and (4) a prototype teacher-preparation program. Concurrent project-wide evaluation will occur on an ongoing basis and will be used to assess and refine the strands. To develop equitable learning environments in science, engineering, education, and mathematics, and to create permanent changes, strategies are being developed to address factors that have traditionally discouraged girls and women from pursuing science, mathematics, and engineering. As these strategies are tested by the participating institutions, they are to be promulgated and incorporated throughout Georgia's Statewide Systemic Initiative. ***

小行星9453106 该项目是格鲁吉亚理工学院、格鲁吉亚数学和科学倡议（GIMS）、克拉克亚特兰大大学、格鲁吉亚南方大学、格鲁吉亚州立大学和格鲁吉亚大学之间的合作。 它侧重于改变培养数学和科学教师的教育方案的结构，这应导致女孩接受数学和科学教育的方式发生重大变化。 目标是使格鲁吉亚州的男孩和女孩都能平等地获得高质量的数学和科学教育，即，所有学生都被鼓励探索和发现数学和科学，受到挑战，在他们的探索中取得成功，并有机会发展这些领域的职业机会意识。 为了实现入学和平等，必须对科学、教育、工程和数学系的结构进行永久性改革。 这些变化包括纳入目前对社会、学习和教学因素的理解，这些因素有助于女孩和妇女对科学、工程和数学的兴趣、动机和成就。 这一目标与格鲁吉亚的全州系统倡议，即格鲁吉亚数学和科学倡议（GIMS）的愿景和目标是一致的。 该项目推进和加强了全球信息监测系统的工作，其结构安排使其与全球信息监测系统的合作成为内在的。 这些项目的具体目标是：（1）启动和实施教师培训方案的重新设计，包括科学、工程和数学课程的教学，以解决影响女孩和妇女的问题;及（2）为预科的教师及研究生/学士学位助教提供专业发展机会，为学生提供服务，强调对性别问题的积极干预战略。 为实现这些目标，已制定了项目内容。 这些是：（1）机构自学的框架（学院/大学）;（2）教师准备课程的材料工具包;（3）教师和教学助理的专业发展;（4）原型教师准备计划。 同时进行的全项目评价将持续进行，并将用于评估和完善各部分。 为了在科学、工程、教育和数学方面建立公平的学习环境，并创造永久性的变化，正在制定战略，以解决传统上阻碍女孩和妇女追求科学、数学和工程的因素。 这些战略经过参与机构的检验，将在格鲁吉亚的全州系统倡议中予以颁布和纳入。 ***
