To enhance the quality of STEM programs at TCUP institutions, QEM will design and conduct two workshops for TCUP project staff, in Years One and Two respectively: Strategic Planning Within/Sustaining Enhancements Beyond TCUP-supported Projects and Financial Management Within TCUP Projects. To increase the participation/quality of preparation of Native individuals in STEM careers, QEM will design and conduct two professional development workshops to support STEM faculty at TCUP institutions: The Fundamentals of Education Research and Assessment and Evaluation of TCUP-supported STEM Instructional Strategies (in Years One and Two respectively).QEM will continue a Faculty Fellowship initiative that supports the six-month placement each year at NSF of a STEM faculty member from a TCUP-supported institution to provide the Fellow with exposure to, and immersion in, the Foundation?s programs, policies, and procedures. This initiative provides NSF program directors and staff the opportunity to interact directly with and gain insight from a TCUP faculty member. QEM will to continue offering, in each of the three years, ten-week summer internships at QEM for five STEM students from TCUP institutions. The TCUP Internship program is focused on activities and experiences that encourage the participating students to persist in STEM.Intellectual Merit. In implementing this project, QEM will utilize/build on experience gained, through prior TCUP support, in working with faculty, staff, administrators, and students at TCUs. The project?s faculty-focused workshops will advance participants? knowledge and understanding of STEM education research methodologies as well as of assessment and evaluation of the effectiveness of STEM pedagogical strategies, while workshops for TCUP project staff will strengthen their strategic planning and management skills to benefit both current and future STEM initiatives. The Faculty Fellowships and Student Internships will continue to offer the reciprocal benefits of new experiences and shared/diverse perspectives for the Fellows, interns, and NSF Program Directors and staff. The project will be enriched by the advice and counsel of an External Advisory Committee composed of Tribal College leaders and others with first-hand knowledge and experience working with Tribal Colleges.Broader Impacts. The Project?s initiatives will impact the way that STEM is taught at TCUP institutions; enable faculty to gauge the effectiveness of their approaches to STEM teaching; increase familiarity with other NSF funding opportunities as well as with the Foundation?s proposal review process; increase the project staff?s understanding of strategic planning and sustainability strategies as well as of effective financial management and increase student understanding of/interest in pursuing STEM careers. Workshop information, registration and presentations; information on the faculty fellowship/internship opportunities; and other project-related information will be available at QEM?s website to ensure broader dissemination of this information beyond email communication with STEM faculty and project staff.

为了提高TCUP机构STEM项目的质量，QEM将分别在第一年和第二年为TCUP项目工作人员设计和举办两个研讨会：TCUP支持的项目中的战略规划/持续增强以及TCUP项目中的财务管理。为了提高本地人在STEM职业生涯中的参与度/准备工作的质量，QEM将设计和举办两个专业发展研讨会来支持TCUP机构的STEM教师：教育研究和评估的基础以及TCUP支持的STEM教学策略的评估(分别在第一年和第二年)。QEM将继续实施教师奖学金计划，每年支持一名来自TCUP支持的机构的STEM教师在NSF为期六个月的安置，为该研究员提供接触和沉浸在S基金会的计划、政策和程序中。这一计划为NSF项目主任和工作人员提供了与TCUP教职员工直接互动并获得洞察力的机会。QEM将继续在三年中的每一年为TCUP院校的五名STEM学生提供为期十周的暑期实习机会。TCUP实习计划的重点是鼓励参与的学生坚持STEM的活动和经验。在实施这一项目时，QEM将利用/建立通过先前的TCUP支持在与TCU的教职员工、管理人员和学生合作方面获得的经验。项目？S以教职员工为重点的工作坊会提前参加吗？本组织还将提高对STEM教育研究方法的知识和理解，以及评估和评价STEM教学战略的有效性，而为TCUP项目工作人员举办的讲习班将加强他们的战略规划和管理技能，使当前和未来的STEM举措受益。学院奖学金和学生实习将继续为研究员、实习生、NSF项目主任和工作人员提供新经验和共享/不同观点的互惠好处。该项目将得到一个外部咨询委员会的建议和咨询，该委员会由部落学院领导人和其他具有与部落学院合作的第一手知识和经验的人组成。S项目将影响TCUP院校教授STEM的方式；使教师能够评估他们的STEM教学方法的有效性；增加对其他国家科学基金资助机会以及基金会？S提案审查过程的熟悉；增加项目工作人员？S对战略规划和可持续发展战略以及有效财务管理的理解，并提高学生对从事STEM职业生涯的理解/兴趣。研讨会信息、注册和演示；教师奖学金/实习机会的信息；以及其他与项目相关的信息将在QEM？S网站上提供，以确保这些信息在与STEM教职员工和项目人员的电子邮件交流之外得到更广泛的传播。
