This project aims to better serve and support a diverse population of students who are pursuing credentials in skilled technical fields. To do so, the project will guide faculty to adapt and implement Culturally Responsive Instruction in technician education courses. The project is designed to increase the retention of Hispanic students in STEM career pathways, particularly in advanced-technology fields. The project builds on the Hispanic Serving Community College KickStarter project, the Hispanic Serving Institutions HSI/ATE Hub project, and the Westchester Community College Photonics and Laser Project. The project team will develop, pilot test, and disseminate a faculty professional development model that can help to shift faculty understanding, practice, and mindset from emphasis on perceived student deficits to asset-based thinking and mutual respect. The professional development will be organized into three tiers. Tier 1 is designed to establish awareness and support first steps. Tier 2 will focus on the development, implementation, and testing of Culturally Responsive Instruction practices in technician education. Tier 3 will focus on creating a community of instructors and emerging leaders that engages in practice, theory building, and applied research into effective educational practices. The overall project goal is to develop faculty knowledge, skills, values, attitudes, and mindset so that more Hispanic students will complete advanced technology programs. In doing so, the project can increase the diversity of the technician workforce and help to mitigate disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on Hispanic communities.This collaboration includes faculty and administrators in technician education programs, higher education researchers, experts in Culturally Responsive Instruction, and industry partners to further conceptualize, operationalize, and test the validity of Culturally Responsive Instruction in the skilled technical fields of applied engineering and applied computing and cyber-security. Additionally, the project will test the hypothesis that micro-credentials are valuable for incentivizing faculty participation in project activities and that micro-credentials will be recognized by educational and industry stakeholders as valuable evidence of expertise and experience. The mixed method evaluation is process -oriented to facilitate development of a model and outcomes-oriented to assess faculty and student outcomes that includes assessment of changes in knowledge/awareness, skills/behavior, and attitudes/mindset. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the nation’s economy.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.

该项目旨在更好地服务和支持正在技术领域寻求证书的多样化学生群体。 要做到这一点，该项目将指导教师适应和实施技术教育课程的文化响应式教学。 该项目旨在提高西班牙裔学生在STEM职业道路上的保留率，特别是在先进技术领域。 该项目建立在西班牙裔服务社区学院KickStarter项目，西班牙裔服务机构HSI/ATE中心项目和韦斯特切斯特社区学院光子学和激光项目的基础上。 该项目团队将开发，试点测试和传播教师专业发展模式，可以帮助教师的理解，实践和心态从强调感知学生的缺陷，以资产为基础的思维和相互尊重。 专业发展将分为三个层次。 第1级旨在建立意识和支持第一步。 Tier 2将专注于技术人员教育中文化响应式教学实践的开发，实施和测试。 第3层将专注于创建一个教师和新兴领导者社区，从事实践，理论建设和应用研究，以有效的教育实践。 项目的总体目标是发展教师的知识，技能，价值观，态度和心态，使更多的西班牙裔学生将完成先进的技术方案。 通过这样做，该项目可以增加技术人员队伍的多样性，并有助于减轻COVID-19对西班牙裔社区的不成比例的影响。这项合作包括技术人员教育计划的教师和管理人员，高等教育研究人员，文化响应式教学专家和行业合作伙伴，以进一步概念化，可操作化，并在应用工程、应用计算和网络安全等技术领域测试文化响应式教学的有效性。 此外，该项目将测试假设，即微证书是有价值的激励教师参与项目活动，微证书将被教育和行业利益相关者认可为专业知识和经验的宝贵证据。混合方法评估是面向过程的，以促进模型的开发和面向结果的，以评估教师和学生的成果，包括评估知识/意识，技能/行为和态度/心态的变化。 该项目由先进技术教育计划资助，该计划侧重于为推动国家经济的先进技术领域培养技术人员。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
