EPWG: Project Advance: A Collaboration for Equitable Classroom Climate, Quality Instruction, and Role Models for Female Students

9619163 Rudolph为了增加女性在科学、工程和数学专业中的代表性，“进步项目”旨在改善课堂实践，以吸引和培养女学生的兴趣，主要是在科学和数学课堂上，并为对这些领域感兴趣的年轻女性提供鼓励和榜样。该项目有三个主要组成部分：(1)对K-12教师/管理人员进行培训，以解决科学和数学课堂中的性别平等问题；(2)对小学教师进行培训，提高科学与数学教学的整体素质；(3)女中学生导师制。培训对象是休斯顿独立学区中部和西南管理区44个校区的行政人员、中学数学和科学教师以及所有小学教师。指导将针对对科学/数学感兴趣的女学生，并将建立一个由中学生和大学生以及来自大学和其他地方机构的女专业人员组成的网络。预期的结果包括在为女学生提供从幼儿园到高中毕业的成功机会的氛围中提供更高质量的科学和数学教学，以及为对科学和/或数学感兴趣的女中学生提供制度化的支持网络。

9619163 Rudolph To increase representation of females in science, engineering, and mathematics professions, Project Advance has been designed to improve classroom practices with respect to engaging and developing the interests of female students, primarily in science and mathematics classrooms, and to provide encouragement and role models for young women interested in these areas. The project has three major components: (1) K-12 teacher/ administrator training to address gender equity in the science and mathematics classroom; (2) elementary teacher training to improve the overall quality of science and mathematics instruction; and (3) a mentoring program for female secondary students. The training targets administrators, secondary mathematics and science teachers, and all elementary teachers at the 44 campuses of the Central and Southwest management districts of the Houston Independent School District. Mentoring will target female students interested in science/mathematics and will create a network of secondary and university students and female professionals from universities and other local institutions. The anticipated outcomes include higher quality instruction in science and mathematics in an atmosphere that provides female students with opportunities to succeed from kindergarten to high school graduation and an institutionalized support network for female secondary students interested in science and/or mathematics.
