Collaborative Research: CIRTL INCLUDES - Toward an Alliance to Prepare a National Faculty for Broadening Success of Underrepresented 2-Year and 4-Year STEM Students

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校、爱荷华州州立大学、得克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校、密歇根州立大学、格鲁吉亚和加州大学洛杉矶将领导这一设计和开发启动试点项目，为一个全国联盟奠定基础，该联盟将为一个新的全国STEM教师队伍做好准备，涵盖所有中学后教育，能够使用循证教学，辅导和咨询实践，产生更多的学习，坚持和完成妇女和历史上代表性不足的少数民族（URM）本科生在STEM。该项目是由这组机构创建的，他们是研究，教学和学习（CIRTL）一体化中心的成员，以响应工程和科学（NSF INCLUDES）计划征集（NSF 16-544）中代表性不足的发现者的学习者社区的全国包容性。INCLUDES计划是一项全面的国家计划，旨在加强美国在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）发现和创新方面的领导地位，重点是NSF对这些领域的多样性，包容性和扩大参与的承诺。 INCLUDES设计和开发启动试点代表了解决STEM领域日益扩大的参与挑战的大胆创新方法。美国所有STEM人才的充分参与对于促进国家安全、健康和繁荣的科学和工程至关重要。 我们的国家正在推进知识和实践，以解决STEM成就和男女本科STEM学生之间的毕业差距，以及URM和非URM之间的毕业差距。与此同时，美国的大学和学院努力招募，留住和促进多元化的STEM研究生团体，以及多元化的STEM教师，他们作为URM和女学生学习的榜样和学术领袖，与他们合作和效仿。 这个项目，CIRTL包括-走向联盟，为扩大代表性不足的2年和4年STEM学生的成功准备一个国家教师，有可能推进一个国家组织网络，以提高未来STEM教师的成功，他们将教育一个多元化的本科生团体，并为学习做出贡献，在STEM领域的妇女和URM的保留和毕业。合作CIRTL大学将与多个组织密切合作，以实现关键目标，包括实现梦想，先进技术教育中心，美国科学促进会、美国两年制学院数学学会、美国物理学会、美国工程教育学会、美国大学协会、公立和赠地大学协会、研究生院理事会、社区学院研究理事会、卓越教育、扩大参与STEM的基础设施，路易斯斯托克斯中西部卓越中心，数学联盟，国家工作人员和组织发展研究所，国家研究指导网络，本科生生命科学教育伙伴关系，南部地区教育委员会，科学教学暑期学院，以及工程项目和倡导者网络中的妇女。 总之，这一广泛的合作网络将实现三个目标：（1）深化未来STEM教师在教学，指导和咨询实践方面的准备，以促进女性和URM本科生的成功;（2）扩大和加强专门为两年制大学的教师准备;以及（3）针对未来STEM教师的准备，他们是代表性不足的群体的成员，进行有效的教学和指导，有助于他们早期的职业成功。 合作领导这一项目的七所大学将努力：（1）为三个目标中的每一个目标建立积极的伙伴关系和国家联盟;（2）为每个目标小组和整个联盟采用集体影响框架，确保共同议程、共享指标、相互加强的活动和利用数据改进周期的综合进程;以及（3）取得试点成果，为联盟未来的工作做好准备。

The University of Wisconsin-Madison, Iowa State University, University of Pittsburgh, University of Texas at El Paso, Michigan State University, University of Georgia and University of California, Los Angeles will lead this Design and Development Launch Pilot to build the foundation for a national alliance that will prepare a new national STEM faculty, spanning all of post-secondary education, able to use evidence-based teaching, mentoring and advising practices that yield greater learning, persistence and completion of women and historically underrepresented minorities (URM) undergraduates in STEM. This project was created by this group of institutions, who are members of the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL), in response to the Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES) program solicitation (NSF 16-544). The INCLUDES program is a comprehensive national initiative designed to enhance U.S. leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) discoveries and innovations focused on NSF's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and broadening participation in these fields. The INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilots represent bold, innovative ways for solving a broadening participation challenge in STEM.The full participation of all of America's STEM talent is critical to the advancement of science and engineering for national security, health and prosperity. Our nation is advancing knowledge and practices to address a STEM achievement and the graduation gap between undergraduate STEM students who are women and men, and between those who are URMs and non-URMs. At the same time U.S. universities and colleges struggle to recruit, retain and promote a diverse STEM graduate student body, and a diverse STEM faculty, who serve as role models and academic leaders for URM and female students to learn from, to work with and to emulate. This project, the CIRTL INCLUDES - Toward an Alliance to Prepare a National Faculty for Broadening Success of Underrepresented 2-Year and 4-Year STEM Students, has the potential to advance a national network of organizations to improve the success of future STEM faculty who will educate a diverse undergraduate body and contribute to the learning, retention and graduation of women and URMs in STEM fields.The collaborating CIRTL universities will work closely with multiple organizations to address key goals, including Achieving the Dream, Advanced Technological Education Central, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Mathematical Society of Two-Year Colleges, the American Physical Society, the American Society for Engineering Education, the Association of American Universities, the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities, the Council of Graduate Schools, the Council for the Study of Community Colleges, Excelencia in Education, the Infrastructure for Broadening Participation in STEM, the Louis Stokes Midwest Center for Excellence, the Math Alliance, the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development, the National Research Mentoring Network, the Partnership for Undergraduate Life Science Education, the Southern Regional Education Board, the Summer Institutes on Scientific Teaching, and the Women in Engineering Programs and Advocates Network. Together, this extensive collaborative network will three goals: (1) To deepen the preparation of future STEM faculty in teaching, mentoring and advising practices that promote the success of undergraduates who are women and URMs; (2) To expand and strengthen faculty preparation specifically for 2-year colleges; and (3) To target the preparation of future STEM faculty who are members of underrepresented groups for effective teaching and mentoring, contributing to their early-career success. The seven universities who are partnering to lead this project will work to: (1) Form active partnerships and national coalitions for each of the three goals; (2) Employ a collective impact framework for each goal team and the entire alliance, ensuring common agendas, shared metrics, mutually reinforcing activities and an integrated process using data improvement cycles; and (3) Achieve pilot outcomes that position the alliance for future work.
