Intellectual Merit: This project will impact the capacity of the formal education community to act as a vehicle for female students to enter careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). An Extension Services Group (ESG) of gender equity in STEM research and practice experts will provide consulting and professional development services to state extension agent teams. State Teams will include: education professionals that provide technical assistance, professional development and pre-service education to high school and community college administrators, faculty and staff; community-based organizations (CBO's) serving women and girls in the state; and leaders of statewide professional organizations committed to involving females in secondary and postsecondary STEM education. It is the conscious intent of the composition of the State Teams to include both formal and informal educational partners in an attempt to bridge and connect the efforts being made in both arenas. Throughout the project's life, thirteen State Teams will be trained to provide extension services to local education (LEA) and CBO staff to implement an institutional change process. The institutional change process includes five steps: 1) Analyze existing data; 2) Identify root causes; 3) Choose best strategies; 4) Implement selected strategies; 5) Evaluate. The ESG's training for State Teams will include (1) an annual seminar where best practices will be shared and State Teams will receive training in the institutional change process and research-based strategy implementation; (2) professional development webcasts on data analysis for program improvement, effective strategies, exemplary programs, "how to" topics, and equitable instructional strategies using Generating Expectations for Student Achievement (Graymill Consulting, undated); (3) a web-based Virtual Learning Community where the National Advisory Board, the ESG, State Teams and local educators can form common-interest-based learning communities and chat rooms, network electronically via a listserve, post relevant documents, archive webcasts, and participate in online courses and tutorials; (4) on going consulting with State Teams by ESG consultants. The ESG will compile existing comprehensive research literature reviews and identify and evaluate exemplary projects, research-based learning tools, pedagogical approaches, and service or support programs into a Best Practices Handbook to be used by State Teams for effective extension services with local educators. Broader Impacts: Training State Teams to provide extension services that support the institutional change process will lead to the implementation of strategic solutions that are supported by research and adapted to each institution's situation. The process is focused on training State Teams to work with local educators to systematically examine and understand what is causing barriers for females to participate in STEM Career Cluster programs and the related academic STEM courses. The process will ensure that State Teams will invest time and effort in providing consulting, professional development and technical assistance that implement improvement strategies that will achieve results. The ESG is committed to disseminating the projects results through its extensive national networks.

智力优势：该项目将影响正规教育界作为女学生进入科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 职业的工具的能力。 STEM 研究和实践专家中的性别平等推广服务小组 (ESG) 将为州推广代理团队提供咨询和专业发展服务。州团队将包括： 为高中和社区大学管理人员、教职员工提供技术援助、专业发展和职前教育的教育专业人员；为本州妇女和女童提供服务的社区组织 (CBO)；以及致力于让女性参与中学和中学后 STEM 教育的全州专业组织的领导人。国家团队的组成有意识地希望包括正式和非正式的教育合作伙伴，以试图弥合和连接这两个领域正在做出的努力。在该项目的整个生命周期中，13 个州团队将接受培训，为当地教育 (LEA) 和 CBO 工作人员提供推广服务，以实施制度变革进程。制度变革过程包括五个步骤：1）分析现有数据； 2）找出根本原因； 3）选择最佳策略； 4）实施选定的策略； 5）评估。 ESG 对国家团队的培训将包括 (1) 年度研讨会，分享最佳实践，国家团队将接受制度变革过程和基于研究的战略实施方面的培训； (2) 专业发展网络广播，内容涉及项目改进的数据分析、有效策略、示范性项目、“如何做”主题以及使用“生成学生成就期望”的公平教学策略（Graymill Consulting，未注明日期）； (3) 基于网络的虚拟学习社区，国家顾问委员会、ESG、国家团队和当地教育工作者可以在此形成基于共同兴趣的学习社区和聊天室，通过列表服务器以电子方式建立网络，发布相关文件，存档网络广播，并参与在线课程和教程； (4) ESG 顾问继续向国家团队提供咨询。 ESG 将汇编现有的综合研究文献综述，并确定和评估示范项目、基于研究的学习工具、教学方法以及服务或支持计划，将其编入最佳实践手册，供州团队使用，为当地教育工作者提供有效的推广服务。更广泛的影响：培训国家团队提供支持机构变革进程的推广服务将导致实施由研究支持并适合每个机构情况的战略解决方案。该过程的重点是培训州团队与当地教育工作者合作，系统地检查和了解导致女性参与 STEM 职业集群项目和相关学术 STEM 课程的障碍的原因。该过程将确保国家团队投入时间和精力提供咨询、专业发展和技术援助，以实施能够取得成果的改进战略。 ESG 致力于通过其广泛的全国网络传播项目成果。
