Triad Alliance for Gender Equitable Teaching

性别平等教学贸易联盟是加州大学旧金山分校（UCSF）科学与健康教育伙伴关系（SEP）的一个项目，与旧金山联合学区（SFUSD）密切合作。通过这一举措，SEP将为教师开创一个多层次的性别平等专业发展项目，这将改变学校教室里女生平等的氛围。这些努力将在教师-科学家伙伴关系的背景下进行，这是一种促进性别平等和科学教育改革的新方法。通过国家科学基金会的妇女和女孩实验计划，SEP和SFUSD建立了Traid女孩科学俱乐部网络，为女孩提供单一性别的科学丰富体验，这是增加女性在科学领域的招募和保留的重要策略。然而，这一策略并没有解决女孩在科学课堂上的经历。只有永久性地改变教室里的性别平等气氛，才能充分为女孩提供平等的科学机会。教室是女孩学习科学的主要场所。对这些教室影响最大的是K-12教师。通过与三合会性别平等教学联盟的合作，SEP将开发一种独特的方法，通过制度化、可持续和可扩展的教师-科学家伙伴关系来促进性别平等。通过Triad性别平等教学联盟，SEP将：1)让教师和科学家合作伙伴参与以实施公平教学策略和参与反思实践为重点的迭代专业发展；2)在公立学校和大学培养性别平等领导和导师骨干；3)使教师和科学家合作伙伴能够对其在女孩性别平等方面的努力的有效性进行行动研究。这些目标将通过三个整合的项目来实现：1)三合会性别平等入门项目，2)三合会领导与指导网络，以及3)三合会平等行动研究小组。目标和方案结构将针对三个目标人群：中学女生、中学科学教师和刚开始其职业生涯的大学科学家。这些目标人群的目标包括：对女孩来说，增加她们在科学方面的自信和自信，加深她们解决科学问题的能力；对于教师而言，提高他们理解和实施促进性别平等和学生科学学习的教学行为的能力；对于科学家来说，提高他们对性别平等问题的认识，提高他们的领导能力、自信心和教学技巧。由于“三合会联盟”的成果将关系到国家利益，有关这一努力及其成果的文件将被汇编成一个“如何”传播包，供美国各地的大学和学区使用。传播工作的目标是：1)记录三合会女童科学俱乐部和三合会性别平等教学联盟的主要组成部分；2)制作一套全面的宣传包《三合会：透过伙伴关系促进性别平等指南》，包括手册和录影带；3)与其他两个站点合作对这些传播材料进行实地测试。斯坦福大学教育学院的一个小组将对三合会性别平等教学联盟进行评估和研究，并将高度融入所有专业发展和传播活动。

Traid Alliance for Gender Equitable Teaching is a project of the Science and Health Education Partnership (SEP) of the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), in strong collaboration with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). Through this initiative, SEP will pioneer a multi-tiered professional development program in gender equity for teachers that will change the equity climate for girls in school classrooms. These efforts will be pursued in the context of teacher-scientist partnership, a novel approach to gender equity and science education reform. Through the NSF's Experimental Program for Women and Girls, SEP and SFUSD established a network of Traid Girls' Science Clubs which provided single-sex science enrichment experiences for girls, an important strategy to increase the recruitment and retention of women in science. However, this strategy does not address the experiences of girls in science classrooms. Only permanent change in the gender equity climate of classrooms, where girls spend the majority of their science instructional time, will fully provide girls equal opportunity in science. Those with the most influence over these classrooms are K-12 teachers. By combining Triad Alliance for Gender Equitable Teaching, SEP will develop a unique approach to promoting gender equity through teacher-scientist partnership that is institutional, sustainable, and expandable.Through the Triad Alliance for Gender Equitable Teaching, SEP will: 1) engage teacher and scientist partners iterative professional development focused on implementing equitable teaching strategies and engaging in reflective practice, 2) develop a cadre of gender equity leaders and mentors in the public schools and the university, and 3) enable teacher and scientist partners to pursue action research into the effectiveness of their gender equity efforts on girls. These goals will be accomplished through three integrated programmatic strands: 1) the Triad Introductory Program in Gender Equity, 2) the Triad Leadership & Mentorship Network, and 3) the Triad Equity Action Research Group. The goals and programmatic structures will address three target populations: middle school girls, middle school science teachers, and university scientists at the beginning of their professional careers. Goals for each of these target populations include: for girls, to increase their self-confidence and assertiveness in science and deepen their abilities in scientific problem-solving; for teachers, to increase their ability to understand and implement teaching behaviors that promote gender equity and student learning in science; and for scientists, to raise their awareness of gender equity issues and increase their leadership abilities, self-confidence, and teaching skills.Since the outcomes of the Triad Alliance will be of national interest, documentation of the effort and its outcomes will be assembled into a "how to" dissemination package designed for use by universities and school districts across the US. The goals of the dissemination effort are to: 1) document the key components of both the Triad Girls' Science Clubs and the Triad Alliance for Gender Equitable Teaching; 2) create a comprehensive dissemination package Triad: A Guide to Promoting Gender Equity through Partnership that includes both a handbook and a video; and 3) field-test these dissemination materials in collaboration with two other sites.A team from the Stanford University School of Education will evaluate and conduct research on the Triad Alliance for Gender Equitable Teaching and will be highly integrated into all professional development and dissemination activities.
