9453136 Crouch To ensure that women will be an effective and integral part of the scientific community, the Western Triad Science and Mathematics Alliance (WTSAMA), a regional partnership in the North Carolina Statewide Systemic Initiative (NC SSI), has forged a partnership of business, industrial, university, community college, and school system leaders to provide direction, energy for a broadly based initiative to recruit, encourage, and support students to participate and achieve in science and mathematics. Input from the WTSAMA collaborative partners has formed a solid ground for the planning of this project as well as for continued monitoring to ensure consistency and quality of effort. Project GET SET, GO (Girls & Educators Teaming in Science Education) will focus on four major objectives: (1) to build an awareness, raise expectations, and change everyday practices among teachers, parents, and school administrators at WTSAMA middle schools, thus assuring equal access to opportunities and education in science; (2) to bridge the educational levels in science through peer mentoring, cross-age teaching, and role modeling; (3) to create a physical, social, and psychological environment within each school that reinforces the importance and relevance of women in science; and (4) to research, locate, modify/design hands-on science activities which complement the science curriculum and are adapted to promote equal participation of all students in the classroom. These objectives are to be matched with activities specifically suited to the needs and population of the region. Activities are to include the Teacher Institute for Gender Equity Training and Science Research, Parents' Night Presentations and Activities, Saturday Science Symposiums, and the Science Women's Studies Program. These activities should increase the interest and involvement of students, teachers, parents, and administrators in science, and create an environment that supports and encourages young wome n to pursue studies and careers in science and related areas. Because this region is representative, in microscale, of the entire state, this project serves as a model for statewide implementation. The WTSAMA and its key collaborators provide an essential operational structure and support network that ensures project success. GET SET, GO builds on current successful programs, and introduce new activities and opportunities, to create a cohesive whole. Extensive dissemination is planned at regional, state, and national levels. ***

小行星9453136 为了确保妇女将成为科学界的有效和不可分割的一部分，西部三合会科学和数学联盟（WTSAMA），北卡罗来纳州全州系统倡议（NC SSI）的区域伙伴关系，已经建立了商业，工业，大学，社区学院和学校系统领导人的伙伴关系，为广泛的倡议提供方向，能量，以招募，鼓励，支持学生参与科学和数学并取得成就。 WTSAMA合作伙伴的投入为该项目的规划以及持续监测奠定了坚实的基础，以确保工作的一致性和质量。 GET SET，GO项目（女童&教育工作者在科学教育中的合作）将侧重于四个主要目标：（1）在WTSAMA中学的教师、家长和学校管理人员中建立认识，提高期望，并改变日常做法，从而确保平等获得科学教育的机会;（2）通过同伴指导、跨年龄教学和角色示范，在科学教育水平之间架起桥梁;（3）在每所学校内创造一个物理、社会和心理环境，以加强妇女在科学领域的重要性和相关性;（4）研究、确定、修改/设计实践科学活动，以补充科学课程，并加以调整，促进所有学生平等参与课堂。 这些目标将与特别适合该区域需要和人口的活动相配合。 活动包括两性平等培训和科学研究教师协会、家长之夜演讲和活动、星期六科学研讨会和科学妇女研究方案。 这些活动应提高学生、教师、家长和管理人员对科学的兴趣和参与，并创造一个支持和鼓励年轻妇女在科学和相关领域从事研究和职业的环境。 由于该地区在微观上代表了整个州，因此该项目可作为全州实施的典范。 WTSAMA及其主要合作者提供了一个重要的业务结构和支持网络，确保项目成功。 GET SET，GO建立在当前成功的项目基础上，并引入新的活动和机会，以创建一个有凝聚力的整体。 计划在区域、州和国家各级广泛传播。 ***
