A Workshop to Enable the Establishment of a Mentoring Community that can serve as a National Resource for Enhancing

辅导倡议和活动在许多层面上对教育产生了重大的积极影响。这个研讨会旨在建立一个由知名导师组成的导师社区，努力创建一个全国性的资源，其中包括在加强科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教育方面表现出色的教师和教育工作者。这一努力首次将获得总统科学、数学和工程杰出导师奖(PAESMEM)的国家认可的导师聚集在一起。研讨会主持讨论，以便为建立指导社区的几个关键特征提供成功的战略信息。这些主要特征包括1)建立STEM领域的导师领袖社区；2)建立一个导师小组，通过提供与加强全国STEM教育相关的政策制定的最佳做法的信息，作为各机构、委员会和咨询小组的国家资源；3)为导师建立一个学习社区环境，支持加强合作和互联互通的机会；以及4)建立知识转移的途径，以分享最佳做法和增加传播努力。这些努力的目的是大大加强今后的传播和随后采用最佳辅导做法。研讨会期间还将讨论有效评估和评估辅导计划的策略。

Mentoring initiatives and activities have had a significant positive effect on education at many levels. This workshop is designed to establish a mentoring community of renowned mentors in an effort to create a national resource of faculty and educators who have excelled in enhancing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. This effort brings together for the first time nationally recognized Mentors who have been awarded the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM). The workshop hosts discussions to inform successful strategies for establishing several key features for the initiation of the mentoring community. These key features include 1) establishing a Community of Mentoring Leaders in STEM fields; 2) establishing a sub-group of Mentors that can serve as a national resource for agencies, committees, and advisory groups by providing information on best practices for policy development relevant to strengthening STEM education throughout the nation; 3) establishing a learning community environment for Mentors that supports the opportunity for enhanced collaboration and connectivity ; and 4) establishing pathways of knowledge transfer for sharing of best practices and increasing dissemination efforts. These efforts are aimed at substantially enhancing future dissemination and subsequent adoption of best mentoring practices. Strategies for effectively evaluating and assessing mentoring programs will also be discussed during the workshop.
