GSE/DIS Sisters in Science Dissemination and Outreach Project

纽约州立大学皇后学院致力于向K-12学生、家长、职前和课堂教师、学校管理人员、其他教育工作者和普通公众提供信息，宣传实施性别平等科学教育的最佳做法。关于科学、数学、技术和工程学的公平教学实践的核心材料将来自于PI在十年中评估的五个科学教育项目的经验。资源材料包括课程、研究成果和专业发展方法。一个互动网站将在全国范围内提供资源。教师撰写的季度时事通讯将传达行动研究的报告。一系列出版物将介绍关于性别平等和科学教育的最新研究。一本书将综合教师研究和学术研究。此外，K-12教育工作者将被邀请参加为期3天的暑期学院。一场名为“什么管用”的会议将提供一年一度的盛会，与会者来自全国社区。在区域范围内，纽约市职前和在职教师以及学校管理人员将被邀请参加一个为期3天的暑期学院，该学院旨在促进公平的教学做法，提高学生的成绩。在地方一级，在纽约市第3区，皇后区教师、学校管理人员和社区组织将举行为期一天的研讨会，重点讨论促进课堂内外性别平等的创新战略。智力上的功绩。拟议的项目传播了五个成功的实验计划(“科学姐妹”的所有变种)制定的结果和方法，这些计划产生了详细的课程和评估方法。作为皇后学院教育学院院长，国际学生联合会得到了纽约市公立学校第三区的批准，为75所学校的教师提供专业发展讲习班，为125,000名学生提供服务。更广泛的影响。该项目将教育工作者和研究人员聚集在一起，以解决教育系统中存在的性别不平等问题。它将影响国家关注的领域：需要在K-12学校促进性别平等和包容性做法，需要促进所有学生的科学和数学成就，认识到性别平等教育中专业发展的示范方法，提高对政策改变必要性的认识和讨论，并最终需要扩大女性在以科学为基础的职业中的参与。

CUNY Queens College seeks to provide K-12 students, parents, pre-service and classroom teachers, school administrators, other educators, and the general public with information promoting the best practices toward implementing gender-equitable science education. Core material about equitable teaching practices in science, mathematics, technology, and engineering will be drawn from the PI's experience with five evaluated science education programs over ten years. Resource materials include curricula, research findings, and professional development methods. An interactive website will make resources available nationally. A teacher-authored quarterly newsletter will communicate reports of action research. A publication series will feature current research on gender equity and science education. A book will synthesize teacher research and academic research. In addition, K-12 educators will be invited to a 3-day Summer Institute. A "What Works" conference will provide an annual culminating event with attendees from the national community. Regionally, New York City pre-service and in-service teachers, as well as school administrators will be invited to attend a 3-day Summer Institute designed to further equitable teaching practices that enhance student achievement. At the local level, in New York City Region 3, Queens Borough teachers and school administrators and community-based organizations will hold one-day symposia to focus on innovative strategies that promote gender equity in and out of the classroom. Intellectual Merit. The proposed project disseminates findings and methods developed across five successful experimental programs (all variations of "Sisters in Science") that yielded detailed curricula and evaluation methods. The PI, as Queens' College Dean of Education, has the endorsement of the New York City Public Schools Region 3 to provide professional development workshops for credit to teachers in 75 schools serving 125,000 students. Broader Impacts. The project brings together educators and researchers in order to address gender inequalities that exist within the educational system. It will impact areas of national concern: the need to foster gender-equitable and inclusive practices in K-12 schools, the need to promote science and mathematics achievement for all students, awareness of model approaches to professional development in gender-equitable education, raised awareness and discussion of the need for change in policies, and, ultimately, the need to broaden the participation of females in science-based careers.
