ICE-TI II

部落学院和大学方案的目标是支持为土著服务的高等教育机构建设其科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教学和研究能力。Cankdeska Cikana社区学院（CCCC）利用一系列活动并在过去成功工作的基础上，在名为ICE-TI II的项目中实现了TCUP的目标，最终目标是增加获得STEM大学学位并进入STEM劳动力队伍的美国原住民人数。该项目通过增加卡内基数学途径系统，为中交的数学教学提供了新的选择。通过与其他部落学院的合作，通过整合社区和学生相关内容来增强数学课程。改善学生支持服务（如增加互联网接入和辅导），旨在减少土著学生常见的学术和非学术障碍？大学的成功也是关键的项目活动。参与式评估提供反馈，使项目的形成优化？的活动和成果。评估结果将在一系列论坛上传播，以使其他人，特别是那些为美国原住民学生服务的人，能够利用该项目的经验教训。ICE-TI II项目通过一套全面的教学和课程开发创新，在CCCC建立STEM教学和研究能力。该项目旨在影响多个系统级别，包括个人，组织，社区和更广泛的社会。活动包括增加基于问题的学习和新的教育资源的使用，提供学术和非学术服务，以减少学生参与和保留的障碍，并支持学生从两年制大学经历过渡到四年制大学，研究生学习和进入劳动力市场。使用基于社区的行动研究原则，并采用交错，前瞻性的多队列设计，该项目旨在调查如何最好地支持准备不足的学生的问题？大学里的成功由于卡内基数学途径是一个最近制定的战略，该项目有助于对CMP的有效性，特别是对美国印第安学生和那些生活在农村地区的新兴知识体系。该项目将通知未来的评估，以及通过评估用于测量美国印第安学生的特点，可能会影响他们的学业success.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的工具的心理测量学的支持。

The goal of the Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) is to support Native-serving institutions of higher education in building their science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) instructional and research capacities. Using a suite of activities and building on past successful work, Cankdeska Cikana Community College (CCCC) addresses TCUP's goals in the project titled ICE-TI II, with the ultimate goal of increasing the number of Native Americans graduating with STEM college degrees and entering the STEM workforce. The project provides new options in CCCC's mathematics instruction through the addition of the Carnegie Math Pathways system. Through collaborative work with other tribal colleges, the math curriculum is enhanced through the integration of community and student relevant content. Improvements in student support services (such as increased Internet access and tutoring) aimed at reducing common academic and non-academic barriers to Native students? college success are also key project activities. A participatory evaluation provides feedback that enables formative optimization of the project?s activities and outcomes. Findings from the evaluation will be disseminated in a range of forums to allow others, particularly those serving Native American students, to tap into the project's lessons learned.The ICE-TI II project builds capacity in STEM instruction and research at CCCC through a comprehensive set of innovations in instruction and curriculum development. The project is designed to impact multiple system levels, including individuals, organizations, communities, and the broader society. Activities include increasing the use of problem-based learning and new educational resources, providing academic and non-academic services to ameliorate barriers to student engagement and retention, and supporting students' advancement from the two-year college experience through the transition to four-year colleges, graduate studies, and entrance into the workforce. Using Community-Based Participatory Action Research principles and employing a staggered, prospective multiple-cohort design, the project seeks to investigate questions about how best to support underprepared students? success in college. Since the Carnegie Math Pathways is a recently developed strategy, this project contributes to the emerging body of knowledge about the efficacy of CMP, especially for American Indian students and those living in rural areas. The project will inform future evaluations, as well, by assessing the psychometrics of instruments used to measure characteristics of American Indian students that may influence their academic success.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
