Proposal to Provide Workshop(s) to Utilize the Expertise of MIEs to Expand The K-12 Pool of Potential STEM Graduates

McKenzie Group(TMG)提议举办一个为期两年的研讨会并计划试点计划，以支持NSF示范卓越机构(Mies)(以及随后的其他机构)拓宽其招收和准备非洲裔、拉丁裔和美洲原住民学生从事科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)职业的战略。作为MIE院校在本科层面开展的STEM培训和招聘努力与中学和中学层面实施的STEM培训和招聘努力之间建立联系的第一阶段，TMG寻求资金，以召集来自六个MIE机构的代表、现为研究生或STEM领域专业人员的MIE毕业生、高中辅导员、社区学院的代表、K-14或高中-学院合作伙伴关系中公认的研究人员和实践者，以及服务于非裔美国人、拉丁美洲人和美洲原住民学生的模范大学前STEM项目的代表。讲习班的召开将使这些研究人员和从业人员能够规划一个综合的、以研究为基础的设计和框架，以执行适当的方案战略，这些战略最终将在密歇根大学和密歇根州立大学或莫伦-密歇根大学试行。在试点阶段，TMG将为每个站点提供支持，以应对方案挑战和提高成功。

AbstractThe McKenzie Group (TMG) proposes a two-year workshop and planning pilot initiativeto support the NSF Model Institutions for Excellence (MIEs) (and subsequently otherinstitutions) to broaden their strategies for recruiting and preparing African-American,Latino, and Native-American students to pursue careers in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM). As the first stage towards developing aframework for bridging STEM training and recruitment efforts undertaken by MIEinstitutions at the undergraduate level with those implemented at the middle school andsecondary education levels, TMG seeks funding to convene representatives from thesix MIE institutions, MIE graduates who are now graduate students or serving asprofessionals in STEM fields, high school counselors, representatives fromcommunity colleges, recognized researchers and practitioners in K-14 or HighSchool-College partnerships, and representatives from exemplary pre-college STEMprograms serving African-American, Latino, and Native American students. Theworkshop convening will permit these researchers and practitioners to plan anintegrated, research-based design and framework for implementing appropriateprogrammatic strategies that eventually will then be piloted at MIEs and 1 or morenon-MIE university sites. During the pilot phase, TMG will provide each site with supportfor addressing programmatic challenges and enhancing success.
