With support from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Program, this Track 3 project aims to enhance the success of a diverse population of students through faculty professional development focused on equitable and inclusive teaching practices. This will increase the number of Hispanic, first-generation, and low-income students who complete STEM degrees and are prepared to successfully enter the workforce or pursue advanced training. This is important as it will contribute to a more diverse, and therefore more innovative and productive, STEM workforce and develop role models for future generations of students. This project will investigate the impact of a specific model of faculty professional development on faculty teaching and the success of a diverse STEM student population, including Hispanic and first-generation students at a land-grant Hispanic-Serving Institution. The results of this project will contribute to the understanding of (i) How faculty make decisions about teaching strategies, particularly in light of institutional equity, diversity, and inclusivity (EID) and research priorities (ii) How faculty professional development focusing on active, culturally-relevant and welcoming practices impacts faculty and their teaching and (iii) How faculty engagement with active, culturally-relevant and welcoming practices impacts the success of a diverse STEM student population. By monitoring the impact of project activities on measures of success of students who are Hispanic, first-generation and/or low income, the project will enable the researchers to determine the extent to which specific interventions have the intended impact on students in the context of an HSI and land grant institution. This work has the potential to make substantial impacts on the number and diversity of students entering and strengthening the STEM workforce. This will create a generalizable and transferable model of faculty professional development and STEM student success that will impact faculty and students beyond our institution. The HSI Program aims to enhance undergraduate STEM education and build capacity at HSIs. Projects supported by the HSI Program will also generate new knowledge on how to achieve these aims.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.

在改善本科STEM教育的支持下：西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）计划，这个轨道3项目旨在通过专注于公平和包容性教学实践的教师专业发展来提高学生的多元化人口的成功。 这将增加完成STEM学位并准备成功进入劳动力市场或接受高级培训的西班牙裔，第一代和低收入学生的数量。这一点很重要，因为它将有助于建立一个更加多样化，因此更具创新性和生产力的STEM劳动力队伍，并为后代学生树立榜样。该项目将调查教师专业发展对教师教学的特定模式的影响，以及多元化STEM学生群体的成功，包括西班牙裔和第一代学生在土地授予西班牙裔服务机构。该项目的结果将有助于理解（i）教师如何做出有关教学策略的决定，特别是在机构公平，多样性和包容性（EID）和研究优先事项方面（ii）教师专业发展如何专注于积极，文化相关和欢迎的做法影响教师及其教学，以及（iii）教师如何参与积极，文化相关和欢迎的做法会影响多元化STEM学生群体的成功。通过监测项目活动对西班牙裔、第一代和/或低收入学生成功衡量标准的影响，该项目将使研究人员能够确定具体干预措施对学生的预期影响程度。HSI和土地捐赠机构。这项工作有可能对进入和加强STEM劳动力的学生数量和多样性产生重大影响。这将创建教师专业发展和STEM学生成功的可推广和可转移的模型，这将影响我们机构以外的教师和学生。HSI计划旨在加强本科STEM教育，并建立HSI的能力。HSI计划支持的项目也将产生关于如何实现这些目标的新知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
