The Capital Regional Network Workshop at the University of the District of Columbia (UCD) aims to bring together UDC and its partners, Morgan State University, Hampton University, and Bowie State University, with Project Kaleidoscope of the Association of American Colleges and Universities to enhance professional development opportunities for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) faculty and expand the national discourse on broadening participation in undergraduate STEM education by involving Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This workshop presents an opportunity to capture the best practices of HBCUs, which are known to result in positive outcomes for African American STEM students, and transfer them to a broader range of institution types. Two-hundred faculty and administrators are expected to attend the workshop.This initiative will help STEM faculty and institutions in the Capital Regional Network to build their knowledge of how students learn; develop their capacity for and use of best practices in STEM pedagogy; facilitate their use of effective inside- and outside-the-classroom STEM learning experiences; help to integrate research into the undergraduate courses and curriculum; and promote collaboration among faculty across the institutions in improving learning outcomes in STEM for majors and non-majors alike. It is expected that this regional network will sustain itself and will grow because of the infusion of a broader audience of STEM faculty and its track record in enhancing STEM faculty self-efficacy.

首都区域网络研讨会在哥伦比亚哥伦比亚特区（UCD）的大学旨在汇集UDC及其合作伙伴，摩根州立大学，汉普顿大学和鲍伊州立大学，与美国学院和大学协会的项目万花筒，以提高科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教师，并通过涉及历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）扩大在本科STEM教育的参与全国话语。本次研讨会提供了一个机会，以捕捉HBCUs的最佳做法，这是已知的结果，为非洲裔美国人干学生的积极成果，并将他们转移到更广泛的机构类型。预计将有200名教师和行政人员参加讲习班，这一举措将帮助首都区域网络的STEM教师和机构建立关于学生如何学习的知识;发展他们使用STEM教学法最佳做法的能力;促进他们使用有效的课堂内外STEM学习经验;帮助将研究纳入本科课程和课程;并促进各机构教师之间的合作，以提高专业和非专业学生在STEM方面的学习成果。预计这一区域网络将维持自身，并将增长，因为STEM教师的更广泛的受众的注入和其在提高STEM教师自我效能的记录。
