Institutional Self-Assessment of Science, Technology, and Mathematics Curricula

NSF-TCUP计划项目的总体目的是加强萨吉诺奇佩瓦部落学院的科学、技术和数学教育。此外，该项目将为申请NSF-TCUP实施赠款奠定基础，以长期实施这些战略。这些结果将通过以下目标和方法来实现：目标：完成SCTC的比较研究。美国的STEM课程和至少两所其他学院的STEM课程，包括课程改进的建议。完成修订《技术规范》的书面行动计划。学生学习计划（PALS），并培训SCTC的科学、技术和数学教师使用WIDS软件设计他们的课程，包括可量化的结果。根据未来三年计划的课程和扩招情况，完成一份设施和基础设施计划。完成NSF-TCUP实施资助申请的初稿。方法:系统地评估现有课程，并将其与同类大学的课程进行比较进行文献和最佳实践调查参加会议和培训课程以提供信息使用付费顾问提供教学设计和评估方面的现场培训访问部落学院和社区学院校园收集信息调查学院的人员和基础设施资源制定课程改进的长期计划综合和整合将信息转化为计划，努力改造课程

The overall purpose of the NSF-TCUP planning project is to enhance science, technology, and mathematics education at Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College. In addition, the project will lay the groundwork to apply for an NSF-TCUP Implementation Grant to carry-out those strategies on a long-term basis. These outcomes will be achieved through the following objectives and methods: Objectives: To complete a comparative study of SCTC.s STEM curricula and STEM curricula of at least two other colleges, including recommendations for curricular improvement. To complete a written plan of action for revising SCTC.s Plan of Learning by Students (PALS) and for training SCTC science, technology, and mathematics faculty to design their coursework to include quantifiable outcomes using the WIDS software. To complete a Facilities and Infrastructure Plan based on projected curricular and enrollment expansion over a three-year period. To complete a first draft of the NSF-TCUP Implementation Grant application. Methods: Systematically assess existing curricula and compare to curricula at similar colleges Conduct survey of literature and best practices Attend conferences and training sessions to inform efforts Provide on-site training in instructional design and assessment using a paid consultant Visit tribal college and community college campuses to collect information Survey college's personnel and infrastructure resources Develop long-range plans for curricular enhancement Synthesize and incorporate information into planning efforts to transform curricula
