Peer Alliance for Gender Equity (PAGE)

这一试点项目将展示一种名为"促进两性平等同行联盟"的推广服务模式的有效性。 PAGE将提高认识，并支持实施有效的，以研究为基础的，对性别问题敏感的教学战略到社区的教育改革领导人进行K？12科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的专业发展。明尼苏达科学博物馆（SMM）将与全国知名的教育工作者合作，领导这项工作。针对既定专业发展计划的董事，该PAGE试点将实施一项修改后的变革计划，重点关注STEM教育中的性别平等，将理论，研究，实践和行动研究相结合。完整的推广服务将最终有助于增加妇女在干劳动力的数量，积极改变气候在K？12.推广服务模式：将围绕一年的活动组织这一试点项目，以测试PAGE模式的不同交付方法。 九名专业发展主任将参加一个由三部分组成的计划，包括：1）在SMM密集的PAGE研究所，2）同行集群会议，和3）一个最终的研讨会，以分享发现。PAGE研究所将提供多种方法的基础培训，将研究转化为实践，包括性别平等科学教学，复杂教学和参与，能力和连续性三部曲的三重框架。参与每个PAGE研究所的九名项目主任将被分成三个同行集群，每个集群有三名成员。同行小组将通过前往不同地点、通过虚拟会议或通过旅行和虚拟地点访问的混合方式进行行动研究。 PAGE研讨会将把所有的同行集群聚集在一起，分享发现和产品，报告成功和挑战，并提出建议。知识成果：PAGE将创建一种新的推广服务模式，密切关注性别平等，满足领导群体的需求，很少为他们的职位专门提供密集的专业发展。采用同行小组与行动研究相结合的办法是一种具有成本效益的办法，将以两性平等领导人为目标，每个领导人将使这种培训达到至少100个教室千人。12教育工作者更广泛的影响：在这个为期一年的试点项目中，PAGE将涉及9名专业发展主任的努力，他们每人将为至少100名STEM教育工作者提供专业发展。到今年年底，主任的累计覆盖面将达到约900名教师。试点将引入性别平等教学法注入K？12专业发展和随后的STEM教学。

This pilot project will demonstrate the effectiveness of an Extension Services model called The Peer Alliance for Gender Equity (PAGE). PAGE will promote awareness and support implementation of effective, research-based, gender-sensitive pedagogical strategies into the community of education reform leaders conducting K?12 professional development in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM) will lead this effort in collaboration with nationally known educators. Aimed toward directors of established professional development programs, this PAGE pilot will implement a modified program of change focused on gender equity in STEM education that integrates theory, research, practice, and action research. The full Extension Service will ultimately contribute to increasing the number of women in the STEM workforce by positively changing the climate in K?12 formal education with respect to gender equity.Extension Service Model: This pilot will be organized around a one year activity to test different delivery methods of the PAGE model. Nine professional development directors will participate in a three part program including: 1) an intensive PAGE Institute at SMM, 2) Peer Cluster meetings, and 3) a culminating symposium to share findings. The PAGE Institute will provide foundational training in multiple approaches that translate research into practice including the Triad Framework for Gender Equitable Science Teaching, Complex Instruction, and Engagement, Capacity, and Continuity Trilogy. The nine project directors participating in each PAGE Institute will be grouped into three Peer Clusters, each with three members. Peer Clusters will engage in action research either through travel to various sites, through virtual meetings, or through a hybrid of travel and virtual site visits. The PAGE Symposium will bring all of the Peer Clusters back together to share findings and products, report successes and challenges, and make recommendations. Products and evaluation outcomes will be shared in various national professional meetings and journals.Intellectual Merit: PAGE will create a new model of extension services tightly focused on gender equity that addresses the needs of a leadership group rarely offered intensive professional development specifically designed for their positions. The use of peer clusters in combination with action research is a cost-effective approach, which will target gender equity leaders, each of whom will then bring this training to a minimum of 100 classroom K?12 STEM educators. Evaluation, will document the efficacy of this approach.Broader Impact: Over this one year pilot project, PAGE will involve the efforts of 9 professional development directors each of whom will provide professional development to at least 100 STEM educators. At the end of the year, the cumulative reach of the directors will be approximately 900 teachers. The pilot will introduce the infusion of gender equity pedagogy into K?12 professional development and subsequent STEM teaching.
