The purpose of this project is to develop an interest in and capacity for evaluative studies of critical STEM issues among faculty at five regional colleges in the Mississippi Delta, including three Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). These colleges were chosen because, although they graduate most of the teachers and administrators working in the Delta schools, the graduates l have not been routinely involved in the comprehensive evaluation of STEM policies and practices. Of particular importance for these personnel are issues surrounding student assessment and performance, especially in light of new stringent assessment guidelines. The project will prepare faculty to investigate large-scale student assessment issues through the development of a faculty professional "learning community" mentored by nationally recognized evaluators/ researchers. These mentors will serve initially as instructors and later as collaborators/consultants to the faculty members as they design and implement research proposals on issues in student learning through current high stakes testing and accountability procedures.

该项目的目的是培养密西西比三角洲五所地区学院（包括三所历史黑人学院和大学 (HBCU)）的教师对关键 STEM 问题进行评估研究的兴趣和能力。选择这些学院的原因是，虽然三角洲地区学校的大部分教师和管理人员都毕业于这些学院，但这些学院的毕业生并没有定期参与 STEM 政策和实践的综合评估。对于这些人员来说，特别重要的是围绕学生评估和表现的问题，特别是考虑到新的严格评估指南。该项目将通过发展由国家认可的评估者/研究人员指导的教师专业“学习社区”，帮助教师调查大规模的学生评估问题。这些导师最初将担任教师，随后将担任教师的合作者/顾问，通过当前的高风险测试和问责程序设计和实施有关学生学习问题的研究提案。
