The proposed project builds upon the solid foundation of the successful Phase I University of Hawai?i Hilo?s Keaholoa1 STEM project (NSF Award 0223040), which is revolutionizing science education at the University of Hawai?i Hilo (UH Hilo) by convincing faculty and administrators to overcome institutional inertia and to make important changes in teaching, learning, research, and infrastructure to improve services to STEM departments and students, especially Native Hawaiian STEM students. The aim of this Phase II proposal is to build on the demonstrated success achieved in our initial NSF-TCUP Cooperative Agreement (2002-2007) by expanding services and strengthening institutional commitment to ensure lasting improvements in STEM retention and graduation rates for all students at UH Hilo, and ultimately to promote local Native Hawaiian leadership in the STEM professions. For the Keaholoa Phase II initiative we have adopted as our emblem the important Hawaiian cultural icon, the taro or kalo plant (Colocasia esculenta). This icon will be symbolic of our commitment to the articulation of appropriate pedagogy that embraces Hawaiian cultural knowledge and to the formulation of curricula; faculty and student research; student peer tutoring and mentoring that are uniquely effective in educating Native Hawaiian students. Keaholoa?s activities are designed to achieve the following Phase II objectives:1. Collaborate with UH Hilo campus partners to create a Student Success and Retention Center (SSRC)through which to coordinate Phase I academic support services such as peer tutoring and mentoring in physical sciences and other activities that promote learning, engagement and success in STEM subjects and majors.2. Continue and enhance Phase I faculty development to improve teaching effectiveness and the attractiveness of STEM majors through the incorporation of culturally significant perspectives in curriculum and instruction.3. Continue and enhance the highly effective Phase I student/faculty STEM research program through which Native Hawaiian students participate in faculty research and help to inform the questions and methods of faculty research.4. Continue and broaden outreach involving mentoring of middle and high school students, summer high school to college bride program, interaction with Hawaiian civic organizations, and articulation with community colleges that feed into UH Hilo.

拟议的项目建立在夏威夷大学第一阶段项目(国家科学基金会奖0223040)的坚实基础上，该项目正在革新夏威夷大学的科学教育，说服教职员工和管理人员克服机构惯性，在教学、学习、研究和基础设施方面做出重要改变，以改善对STEM系和学生的服务，特别是夏威夷原住民STEM学生。这项第二阶段建议的目的是在我们最初的NSF-TCUP合作协议(2002-2007)所取得的成功的基础上，通过扩大服务和加强机构承诺，确保UH Hilo所有学生的STEM保留率和毕业率得到持久改善，并最终促进当地土著夏威夷人在STEM专业中的领导地位。对于Keaholoa第二阶段倡议，我们采用了重要的夏威夷文化标志--芋头或kalo植物(Colocasia Esculenta)作为我们的标志。这个图标将象征我们致力于阐明适当的教育学，包括夏威夷文化知识，并制定课程；教职员工和学生研究；学生同伴辅导和辅导，这在教育夏威夷原住民学生方面具有独特的有效性。Keaholoa？S活动旨在实现以下第二阶段目标：1.与密歇根大学希洛校区合作伙伴合作创建学生成功和保持中心，通过该中心协调第一阶段的学术支持服务，如同行辅导和物理科学指导，以及其他促进STEM学科和专业学习、参与和成功的活动。通过在课程和教学中融入具有文化意义的观点，继续和加强第一阶段教师发展，以提高STEM专业的教学效率和吸引力。继续并加强高效的第一阶段学生/教师STEM研究计划，通过该计划，夏威夷原住民学生参与教师研究，并帮助告知教师研究的问题和方法。继续并扩大范围，包括对初中生和高中生的指导，暑期高中到大学新娘计划，与夏威夷公民组织的互动，以及与提供给UH Hilo的社区大学的联系。
