NSF INCLUDES DDLP: IM STEM

全国平等教育基金会伙伴关系联盟（NAPE）将与来自六个州（CO，ID，NM，NV，UT和WY）的各种组织合作，形成Intermountain STEM（IM STEM）项目，这是一个NSF INCLUDES设计和开发启动试点项目，专注于提高参与度和缩小STEM教育成就差距的目标，包括职业和技术教育。这些组织的计划影响正规STEM教育系统包括：教育部;高等教育机构;州长支持的STEM行动中心;大学;中学区;社区学院;能源部国家实验室;企业，非营利组织和其他。参与这项工作的伙伴将确定侧重于一套共同目标的有效做法，并创建一个模式，通过采用集体影响办法来推广这些做法。通过该项目，参与组织将制定共同议程，确定共享指标，实施相辅相成的活动，并保持持续沟通。这一努力直接解决了STEM劳动力缺乏多样性的问题;这是一个重大的社会挑战，因为它对美国的创新、国家安全、环境安全和收入不平等产生了影响。的IM干？IM STEM的使命是增加在STEM教育中取得成功的学生的多样性，这将创造一个更有STEM素养的社会，确保多样化的STEM劳动力的贡献，并为进入高薪STEM职业提供公平的竞争环境。IM STEM能够使大型资源充足的组织承担STEM中不断扩大的参与挑战，这将促进人们对创造性社会创新的认识，像集体影响一样，可以创造变革性的体制和文化变革。收集、评估和推广有效的基于研究的解决方案，以缩小STEM领域的公平差距，将促进STEM的包容性。最初，IM STEM项目将试点扩大NAPE的专业发展（PD）计划-公平和微信息的计划改进流程，以达到和教导每一个学生-已被证明会影响STEM和职业和技术教育（CTE）的公平差距。六个参与国有兴趣扩大其目前的小规模实施NAPE的PD方案，并将纳入选定的新兴做法。这一设计和开发启动试点将提供一种工具，以确定扩大方案开发的支持机制，并确定与参与伙伴的其他有效做法一起扩大的其他机会。这些努力有可能发展一种模式，推广到其他希望扩大有效做法的国家。

The National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity Education Foundation (NAPE) will partner with a diverse group of organizations from six states (CO, ID, NM, NV, UT, and WY) to form the Intermountain STEM (IM STEM) project, an NSF INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilot project focused on the goal of increasing the participation and closing achievement gaps in STEM education, including career and technical education. These organizations whose programs impact the formal STEM education system include: Departments of Education; Higher Education agencies; governor supported STEM Action Centers; universities; secondary school districts; community colleges; Department of Energy National Labs; businesses, non-profits and others. The partners in this effort will identify effective practices focused on the common set of objectives and create a model to bring them to scale by employing a collective impact approach. Through the project, the participating organizations will create a common agenda, identify shared metrics, implement mutually reinforcing activities, and maintain continuous communication. This effort addresses directly the lack of diversity of the STEM workforce; a societal challenge of significant magnitude because of its impact on innovation, national security, environmental safety, and income inequality in the US. The IM STEM?s mission to increase the diversity of students who are successful in STEM education will create a more STEM literate society, ensure the contributions of a diverse STEM workforce, and level the playing field for entrance into high wage STEM careers.The capacity of IM STEM to bring large well-resourced organizations to bear on the broadening participation challenges in STEM will advance the knowledge of how creative social innovations, like collective impact, can create transformative institutional and cultural change. The collection, evaluation and scaling of effective research-based solutions to close equity gaps in STEM will advance inclusion in STEM. Initially, the IM STEM project will pilot the scaling of NAPE's professional development (PD) programs - Program Improvement Process for Equity and Micromessaging to Reach and Teach Every Student - that have proven to impact equity gaps in STEM and career and technical education (CTE). The six participating states are interested in scaling their current small scale implementation of NAPE's PD programs and will also incorporate selected emerging practices. This design and development launch pilot will provide the vehicle for identifying support mechanisms for scaling of the PD and the identification of additional scaling opportunities with other effective practices of the participating partners. These efforts have the potential to develop a model for expansion to other states wanting to scale effective practices.
