New York HSI Hub: Building Community College Capacity in Culturally Responsive Professional Development and Grantsmanship

在改进的本科生STEM教育：拉美裔服务机构(HSI)计划的支持下，这个纽约HSI中心项目旨在通过一个为期五年的项目，在文化响应教学、教师学习社区和STEM教师的授课指导方面的专业发展计划，为14所不同的、招生人数较多的纽约市地区SUNY和CUNY社区大学带来系统性的改进。该中心的活动将有助于解决社区大学在试图建设机构变革能力时面临的挑战。此外，该项目将通过为参与学院的教师提供在不同环境中有效教学的工具以及为支持响应学生在STEM成功的努力而获得未来的拨款来扩大STEM的渠道。该项目旨在通过提供一个为期五年的计划来加强14所参与学院的STEM教育：a)教师在文化响应教学方法方面的专业发展，以促进代表HSI各种才能的学生的STEM成功，以及b)赠款指导，以提高STEM教师的能力，以竞争性地寻求NSF HSI资金，以进一步加快文化响应教学和相关项目的改进。通过研讨会和网络建设，该项目使用参与性行动研究来帮助教师反思和发展他们的教学方法。该项目的成果包括为社区大学STEM学生创造了一个引人入胜和有影响力的课堂体验，并在参与的14所大学中成功地开发了赠款。将通过国家会议和网络研讨会广泛传播关于参与性行动研究和技能培训影响的调查结果。成果还将通过纽约州立大学和纽约城市大学的全系统会议和活动传播。该项目由HSI计划资助，该计划旨在加强本科生STEM教育，扩大对STEM的参与，并建设HSIS的能力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

With support from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Program, this New York HSI Hub project aims to bring about systemic improvements for 14 diverse and highly enrolled New York City area SUNY and CUNY community colleges through a five-year program of professional development in culturally responsive instruction, faculty learning communities, and grantsmanship mentoring of STEM faculty. The Hub’s activities will help address challenges community colleges face when attempting to build capacity for institutional change. Moreover, this project will expand the STEM pipeline for students in participating colleges by providing faculty with tools for effective teaching in diverse environments and for pursuing future grant funding to support efforts responsive to student success in STEM.This project aims to strengthen STEM education at the 14 participating colleges by offering a five-year program of a) faculty professional development in culturally responsive instructional methods to advance STEM success for students that represent the full spectrum of diverse talent at HSIs, and b) grantsmanship mentoring to increase the capacity of STEM faculty to competitively pursue NSF HSI funding to further accelerate culturally responsive instruction and related program improvements. Through workshops and network-building, the project uses Participatory Action Research to help faculty reflect and develop their teaching methods. Results of the project include creating an engaging and impactful classroom experience for community college STEM students, and successful grant development among the 14 participating colleges. Findings on the impacts of Participatory Action Research and grantsmanship training will be disseminated widely through national conferences and webinars. Results will also be disseminated through SUNY and CUNY systemwide meetings and events. 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.
