The Educators' Equity (EE) STEM Academy aims to enhance recruitment and academic success of women and underrepresented students in technician education STEM courses and programs by providing professional growth opportunities for community college faculty and secondary teachers. The National Alliance for Partnership in Equity Education Foundation (NAPEEF), together with the Community College of Baltimore County, Baltimore County Public Schools and two regionally-based ATE Centers, created the EE-STEM Academy project to deliver 5 days of rigorous instruction, plus a year of facilitated coaching and high quality resources to improve classroom pedagogy. The 20-50 educators who participate each year customize and implement the strategies and tools in their classrooms, ones that they have designed to have a direct positive impact on student outcomes in STEM technician programs in engineering and IT. The materials and methods featured in the project include the following effective, research-based practices: 1) delivery of face-to-face and on-line rigorous training content, resources, tools, and strategies focused on micro-messaging, gender, and diversity in STEM; 2) incorporation of NAPEEF's Five Step Program Improvement Process for continuous educator feedback, peer support, and program revision; 3) building of professional learning communities to engage and support participants; 4) provision of peer-coaching training to build the network of educator learning and support; and 5) collection of quantitative and qualitative data that describe the impact on student performance for dissemination through technical education channels and journal publication. Intellectual Merit: EE-STEM adapts research-based instructional materials and strategies originally developed and delivered to physics teachers in the Dallas Independent School District, which resulted in significant increases in the physics pass rate for girls and in the number of girls taking the AP Physics exam. With input from leading content experts in STEM technician education, NAPEEF adapts and enhances this curriculum to improve faculty pedagogy and assure improvements in student outcomes among a diversity of young women and underrepresented groups in targeted technician programs, and in the common core classes that serve the programs' educational pipeline. Broader Impacts: The EE-STEM Academy engages educators to create customized strategies unique to their diverse population's needs by making them aware of the implicit biases that we all have and which cause inequities in the classroom. Educators collectively and individually select, develop, and evaluate currently available pedagogical tools, resources, and strategies as applied to their specific programs in order to improve student outcomes. NAPEEF distributes the resulting products and services through its national distribution network of 40 state education agencies and community colleges. It is anticipated that results of the initial offerings of this adapted effective practice program will be the understanding of its impact for implementation in all STEM technician programs of study in the U.S.

教育工作者公平STEM学院旨在通过为社区学院教师和中学教师提供专业成长机会，加强技术教育STEM课程和方案中妇女和代表性不足的学生的招聘和学业成功。全国联盟平等教育基金会（NAPEEF），与巴尔的摩县社区学院，巴尔的摩县公立学校和两个区域性的ATE中心一起，创建了EE-STEM学院项目，提供5天的严格教学，加上一年的便利辅导和高质量的资源，以改善课堂教学。每年参与的20-50名教育工作者在他们的课堂上定制和实施策略和工具，他们设计的策略和工具对工程和IT领域STEM技术人员课程的学生成果产生直接的积极影响。该项目中的材料和方法包括以下有效的，基于研究的实践：1）提供面对面和在线严格的培训内容，资源，工具和战略，重点是微信息，性别和STEM的多样性; 2）将NAPEEF的五步计划改进过程纳入持续的教育者反馈，同伴支持和计划修订;（3）建立专业学习社区，以吸引和支持参与者;（4）提供同侪辅导培训，以建立教育工作者学习和支持网络;和5）收集描述对学生成绩影响的定量和定性数据，通过技术教育渠道传播期刊出版。智力优势：EE-STEM采用了最初为达拉斯独立学区的物理教师开发和提供的基于研究的教学材料和策略，这使得女孩的物理通过率和参加AP物理考试的女孩人数显着增加。随着STEM技术人员教育领先内容专家的投入，NAPEEF调整和加强这一课程，以改善教师教学法，并确保在有针对性的技术人员方案中，在各种年轻妇女和代表性不足的群体中提高学生成绩，以及为项目教育管道服务的共同核心课程。更广泛的影响：EE-STEM学院让教育工作者通过让他们意识到我们都有的隐性偏见以及导致课堂不平等的原因，来创建独特的定制策略，以满足不同人群的需求。教育工作者集体和单独选择，开发和评估目前可用的教学工具，资源和策略，适用于他们的具体计划，以提高学生的成绩。NAPEEF通过其40个州教育机构和社区学院的全国分销网络分销由此产生的产品和服务。预计这一适应性有效实践计划的初步产品的结果将是其对美国所有STEM技术人员学习计划实施的影响的理解。
