NSF INCLUDES DDLP: IM STEM

国家公平教育伙伴关系联盟(NAPE)将与来自六个州(CO、ID、NM、NV、UT和WY)的不同组织合作，形成山间STEM(IM STEM)项目，NSF包括设计和开发启动试点项目，重点是增加STEM教育的参与度和缩小STEM教育(包括职业和技术教育)的成就差距。这些计划影响正式STEM教育系统的组织包括：教育部；高等教育机构；州长支持的STEM行动中心；大学；中学学区；社区学院；能源部国家实验室；企业、非营利组织和其他组织。这项工作的合作伙伴将确定侧重于一套共同目标的有效做法，并创建一种模式，通过采用集体影响办法使其扩大规模。通过该项目，参与组织将制定共同议程，确定共同的指标，实施相辅相成的活动，并保持持续的沟通。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。IM STEM S的使命是增加在STEM教育中取得成功的学生的多样性，这将创造一个更具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职业生涯创造公平的竞争环境。IM STEM有能力让资源丰富的大型组织参与STEM日益广泛的参与挑战，这将促进人们更多地了解创造性的社会创新，如集体影响，如何能够创造变革性的制度和文化变革。收集、评估和推广有效的以研究为基础的解决方案，以缩小科学、技术和经济研究方面的差距，将促进纳入科学、技术和经济研究。最初，IM STEM项目将试点扩大NAPE的职业发展(PD)计划-公平和微消息的计划改进流程，以覆盖并教授每一名学生-事实证明，这些计划影响了STEM以及职业和技术教育(CTE)中的平等差距。六个参与州有兴趣扩大他们目前小规模实施的NAPE的PD计划，并将纳入选定的新兴做法。这一设计和开发试点项目将提供一种工具，用于确定PD扩展的支持机制，并与参与伙伴的其他有效做法一起确定更多的扩展机会。这些努力有可能开发一种模式，将其扩展到其他希望扩大有效做法的州。

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.
