Strategic Plan for Enhancement, Expansion and Development of Undergraduate Programs (SPEED-UP)

阿拉巴马州亨茨维尔的J.F.德雷克州立技术学院是一所两年制的历史黑人学院。他们的HBCU-Up项目SPEED-UP(加强、扩展和发展本科项目的战略计划)将提供基础设施，以i)扩大STEM教师的专业发展机会；ii)增强和扩展Drake当前的STEM课程和衔接协议，以及iii)扩大对未被充分代表的群体的接触，以增加STEM的参与。通过SPEACH-UP项目，Drake计划在同行学习、互动学习、即时教学和补充指导领域为教师提供专业发展。在课程开发方面，德雷克将通过使用专业发展活动中强调的一些技术，重新设计数学、物理、生物和计算机信息系统课程。此外，德雷克将为高中生和成年人实施夏季桥牌项目，这应该会增加人们对STEM项目的兴趣，特别是他们所服务的学生。

J.F. Drake State Technical College in Huntsville, Alabama is a two-year Historically Black Institution. Their HBCU-UP project SPEED-UP (Strategic Plan for Enhancement, Expansion and Development of Undergraduate Programs) will provide the infrastructure to i) expand professional development opportunities for STEM faculty; ii) enhance and expand Drake's current STEM curriculum and articulation agreements and iii) expand outreach to underrepresented groups to increase STEM participation.Through the SPEED-UP project, Drake plans to offer professional development for faculty in the areas of peer learning, interactive learning, Just-in-Time Teaching and Supplemental Instruction. In the area of curriculum development, Drake will re-design the mathematics, physics, biology and computer information systems curriculum through the use of some of the techniques emphasized in the professional development activities. In addition, Drake will implement summer bridge programs for high school students and for adults, which should increase interest in STEM programs, especially with the students that they serve.
