CONFERENCE GRANT: BUILDING THE PIPELINE OF HBCU EVALUATORS THROUGH COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS

拟议项目的目的是建立历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）在教学和评价实践中的能力，重点是STEMeducation计划。其目标是使该领域多样化并建立领导地位，以及加强评估者在评估多民族和代表性不足的人口的STEM学术课程方面的技能。这将通过三项主要活动来实现：（1）HBCU教师评估员和评估顾问的会议，以评估他们目前的评估能力和相关的研究和教学活动，并确定有效的评估能力建设和网络模式，（二）建立一个在HBCUs之间以及HBCUs与其他高等教育机构之间共享有关评价指导和实践的信息的通信网络和机制，教育机构，以及（3）与机构和组织的主要领导人举行会议，这些机构和组织促进在各种教育水平、学科和背景下进行评估的多样性，以分享上述讨论和联网的结果（NSF，AEA，AERA和阿帕）。该项目的成果将是制定一项行动计划，其中包括在这些机构建设评价能力和增加少数民族教师和学生从事评价职业的建议。

The purpose of the proposed project is to build the capacity of Historically Black Colleges andUniversities (HBCUs) in the teaching and practice of evaluation, with a focus on STEMeducation programs. The goal is to diversify and build leadership in the field, as well asstrengthen evaluator skills in assessing academic programs focused on STEM with multiethnicand underrepresented populations. This will be accomplished through three major activities: (1) aconference of HBCU faculty evaluators and evaluation consultants to assess their current programevaluation and related research and teaching activities and to identify effective models ofevaluation capacity building and networking, (2) the creation of a communications network andmechanism for information sharing regarding evaluation instruction and practice among HBCUsand between HBCUs and other higher education institutions, and (3) a meeting with key leadersfrom agencies and organizations that promote diversity in evaluation across a variety ofeducational levels, disciplines and contexts to share the results of the discussions and networkingoutlined above (NSF, AEA, AERA and APA). The project outcome will be the development ofan action plan with recommendations for building evaluation capacity at these institutions andincreasing minority faculty and students in the evaluation profession.
