NavigATE

该项目旨在显著扩大高级技术教育(ATE)社区和计划的覆盖面和知名度。ATE影响手册将与其他相关ATE文件一起传播，以展示ATE项目和中心的累积影响，并帮助教育工作者、决策者、学生、行业合作伙伴和其他关键利益相关者更多地了解通过ATE资助所做的有价值的工作。虽然个别项目和中心可能会接触到自己的受众，但导航项目的目标是帮助建立一个长期存在的品牌，并提高ATE计划在国家和地区层面的知名度。ATE中心和项目有有限的预算和工作人员来共享他们的材料和导航，这将极大地扩大他们的覆盖范围，并帮助支持他们的传播努力。该项目将通过以下方式提高技术人员和技术教育工作者的技能和知识：(1)提高对NSF ATE受赠者丰富资源的认识；(2)促进中心和项目之间的合作活动，以接触到更多的个别教育工作者和学生、社区学院和雇主；(3)提高决策者、工作人员和教职员工对NSF ATE计划的了解；以及(4)促进教育工作者、行业、其他利益相关者和ATE社区内外的人之间的网络和伙伴关系。导航项目将侧重于结合指导项目、高质量材料和资源提供互动和合作的机会，以支持和加强先进技术领域的严谨性、相关性和跨课程内容知识、技术技能、能力和教学方法。该项目由高级技术教育计划资助，该计划专注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优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project aims to significantly help broaden the outreach and visibility of the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) community and program. The ATE Impacts Book will be disseminated along with other relevant ATE documents to showcase the cumulative impact of ATE projects and centers and to help educators, decision makers, students, industry partners, and other key stakeholders learn more about the valuable work being done through ATE funding. While individual projects and centers may reach out to their own audiences, the goal of the project,NavigATE, is to help establish a long-standing brand and raise visibility for the ATE program at a national and regional level. ATE Centers and projects have limited budgets and staff to share their materials and NavigATE will significantly broaden their reach and help support their dissemination efforts.The project will improve the skills and knowledge of technicians and technical educators by (1) increasing awareness of the abundant resources available from NSF ATE grantees; (2) foster collaborative activities among centers and projects to reach more individual educators and students, community colleges, and employers; (3) enhance decision makers, staff and faculty knowledge of the NSF ATE program; and (4) facilitate networking and partnerships between educators, industry, other stakeholders and those within and beyond the ATE community. The NavigATE project will focus on providing opportunities for interaction and collaboration in conjunction with mentoring projects, high-quality materials, and resources to support and enhance rigor, relevance, and cross-curriculum content knowledge, technical skills, abilities and pedagogy in advanced technology fields. 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.
