Tools for Success

该项目由迈阿密戴德学院沃尔夫森和肯德尔校区的教职员工开展，旨在增加该学院STEM专业和毕业生的数量。成功的工具使用经过验证的技术组合，如学习社区，专业知识，技术工具和指导，以提高学生在STEM领域的毕业率。通过该计划，学生报名参加四个1学分课程，旨在提高他们在STEM研究领域的成功和持久性。STEM教师通过传统手段以及通过播客指导学生。学生对学生的指导也正在通过二年级学生与一年级学生配对来完成。奖学金为学生提供了进入4年制院校的激励措施，科学论坛让学生接触到在该领域工作的科学家。正在针对尚未决定的社区大学新生和代表人数严重不足的高中进行有针对性的征聘工作。

This project is being conducted by faculty and staff at the Wolfson and Kendall Campuses of Miami Dade College in an effort to increase the number of STEM majors and graduates at the College. Tools for Success uses a combination of proven techniques such as learning communities, specialized advisement, technological tools, and mentoring to increase the graduation rates of students in STEM fields. Through this program, students enroll in four 1-credit courses designed to improve their success and persistence in STEM fields of study. STEM faculty mentor students through traditional means as well as through Podcasts. Student-to-student mentoring is also being accomplished by pairing second-year students with first-year students. Scholarships provide student incentives to matriculate to 4-year institutions and Science Forums expose students to scientists working in the field. Targeted recruitment efforts are being conducted aimed at incoming undecided community college students and at high schools with significant underrepresented populations.
