With support from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program (HSI Program), this Hub project aims to accomplish three distinct goals to: 1) foster Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) collaboration and networking; 2) support HSI faculty professional development; and 3) generate and disseminate knowledge by and about HSIs. In an effort to simultaneously engage multiple levers of change to achieve equitable educational outcomes and culturally validating environments for students that represent the full spectrum of diverse talent at HSIs, many HSIs respond by offering professional development for faculty on culturally responsive and relevant pedagogies. These worthwhile local efforts can be enhanced by creating opportunities for leveraging limited resources. This project will offer an alternative to a decentralized HSI information landscape by creating a freely accessible web-based HSI-Resource Hub for the nation’s growing network of public and private HSIs.This HSI Resource Hub will bring together STEM faculty across the hundreds of current and emerging HSIs in the United States. The project will create a community of STEM scholars who not only adopt, but also advance/cultivate their culturally responsive and relevant pedagogy. The Hub will synthesize and regularly update information on what works in HSI contexts to minimize trial and error approaches to education reforms and to nurture an ongoing community of practice. The project intends to improve educational equity and STEM education for students at HSIs by developing a professional development toolkit on culturally relevant and responsive teaching, offering faculty professional development, enabling seamless resource sharing, leveraging knowledge production, and enhancing opportunities for networking. In addition, the Hub will include other activities focused on the dissemination of practical and scholarly knowledge by and about HSIs, including a database of scholarly research on STEM education at HSIs, bi-annual topical briefs on asset-based approaches for broadening participation in STEM, an online professional learning community, and an online forum for faculty at HSIs to collaborate and share resources. These efforts will facilitate the spread of empirically based practices supporting culturally responsive and relevant pedagogy. This project is funded by the HSI Program, which aims to enhance undergraduate STEM education, broaden participation in STEM, and build capacity at HSIs.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：西班牙裔服务机构计划（HSI计划），该中心项目旨在实现三个不同的目标：1）促进西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）协作和网络； 2）支持HSI教师专业发展； 3）通过HSI和关于HSI的知识产生和传播知识。为了简单地吸引多个变革的杠杆，以实现代表HSIS全部不同人才的学生的公平教育成果和文化验证的环境，许多HSIS通过为文化响应式和相关教学的教师提供专业发展而做出回应。可以通过利用有限的资源创造机会来增强这些值得的本地努力。该项目将通过为美国不断增长的公共和私人HSIS网络创建一个免费的基于Web的HSI-Resource HUB，为分散的HSI信息景观提供替代方案。该HSI资源枢纽将在美国的数百个当前和新兴的HSIS中将STEM教师汇集在一起​​。该项目将创建一个不仅采用的STEM学者社区，而且还可以提高/培养其具有文化反应且相关的教学法。该枢纽将合成并定期更新有关HSI环境中有效的信息，以最大程度地减少教育改革的反复试验，并为正在进行的实践社区提供护理。该项目旨在通过开发有关具有文化相关和响应式教学的专业发展工具包来改善HSI的学生的教育公平和STEM教育，从而提供教师专业发展，从而实现无缝资源共享，利用知识生产以及增强网络的机会。此外，该枢纽将包括针对HSI和HSI的实践和科学知识的其他活动，包括HSIS的STEM教育科学研究数据库，基于资产的基于资产的基于资产的主题介绍，以扩大STEM的参与，在线专业学习社区以及HSIS在线专业学习社区和共享资源的在线专业论坛。这些努力将促进基于经验的实践的传播，这些实践支持文化反应迅速和相关的教学法。该项目由HSI计划提供资金，该计划旨在增强本科STEM教育，扩大对STEM的参与以及在HSIS上建立能力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点评估和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来获得的支持。
