Peer Alliance for Gender Equity (PAGE)

这一试点项目将展示一种名为促进性别平等同行联盟(PAGE)的推广服务模式的有效性。PAGE将促进和支持在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域进行K？12专业发展的教育改革领袖社区实施有效的、以研究为基础的、对性别敏感的教学战略。明尼苏达州科学博物馆(SMM)将与全国知名教育工作者合作领导这项工作。针对已建立的专业发展计划的主任，这一页面试点将实施一项修改后的改革计划，重点是STEM教育中的性别平等，集理论、研究、实践和行动研究于一体。全面推广服务最终将通过积极改变K？12正规教育在性别平等方面的氛围，最终有助于增加STEM劳动力中的女性人数。推广服务模式：该试点将围绕为期一年的活动来组织，以测试PAGE模式的不同交付方法。九名职业发展总监将参加一个三部分的计划，包括：1)SMM研究所的密集页面，2)同行小组会议，以及3)最终分享发现的研讨会。PAGE研究所将提供多种方法的基础培训，将研究转化为实践，包括性别平等科学教学三合一框架、复杂教学以及参与、能力和连续性三部曲。参加每个PAGE研究所的九名项目主任将被分成三个Peer小组，每个小组有三名成员。同行分组将通过前往不同地点、通过虚拟会议或通过旅行和虚拟地点访问相结合的方式开展行动研究。PAGE研讨会将把所有的Peer集群聚集在一起，分享发现和产品，报告成功和挑战，并提出建议。产品和评估结果将在各种国家专业会议和新闻中分享。智慧的优点：佩奇将创建一种新的推广服务模式，紧紧围绕性别平等，满足领导群体的需求，这一群体很少提供专门为其职位设计的密集专业发展。将同行分组与行动研究结合使用是一种具有成本效益的方法，它将以性别平等领袖为目标，他们每人将向至少100名课堂K？12 STEM教育者提供这项培训。广泛影响：在这一年的试点项目中，PAGE将涉及9名专业发展总监的努力，他们每人将为至少100名STEM教育工作者提供专业发展。到今年年底，董事的累计覆盖面将达到约900名教师。该试点将把性别平等教学法引入到K？12专业发展和随后的STEM教学中。

This pilot project will demonstrate the effectiveness of an Extension Services model called The Peer Alliance for Gender Equity (PAGE). PAGE will promote awareness and support implementation of effective, research-based, gender-sensitive pedagogical strategies into the community of education reform leaders conducting K?12 professional development in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM) will lead this effort in collaboration with nationally known educators. Aimed toward directors of established professional development programs, this PAGE pilot will implement a modified program of change focused on gender equity in STEM education that integrates theory, research, practice, and action research. The full Extension Service will ultimately contribute to increasing the number of women in the STEM workforce by positively changing the climate in K?12 formal education with respect to gender equity.Extension Service Model: This pilot will be organized around a one year activity to test different delivery methods of the PAGE model. Nine professional development directors will participate in a three part program including: 1) an intensive PAGE Institute at SMM, 2) Peer Cluster meetings, and 3) a culminating symposium to share findings. The PAGE Institute will provide foundational training in multiple approaches that translate research into practice including the Triad Framework for Gender Equitable Science Teaching, Complex Instruction, and Engagement, Capacity, and Continuity Trilogy. The nine project directors participating in each PAGE Institute will be grouped into three Peer Clusters, each with three members. Peer Clusters will engage in action research either through travel to various sites, through virtual meetings, or through a hybrid of travel and virtual site visits. The PAGE Symposium will bring all of the Peer Clusters back together to share findings and products, report successes and challenges, and make recommendations. Products and evaluation outcomes will be shared in various national professional meetings and journals.Intellectual Merit: PAGE will create a new model of extension services tightly focused on gender equity that addresses the needs of a leadership group rarely offered intensive professional development specifically designed for their positions. The use of peer clusters in combination with action research is a cost-effective approach, which will target gender equity leaders, each of whom will then bring this training to a minimum of 100 classroom K?12 STEM educators. Evaluation, will document the efficacy of this approach.Broader Impact: Over this one year pilot project, PAGE will involve the efforts of 9 professional development directors each of whom will provide professional development to at least 100 STEM educators. At the end of the year, the cumulative reach of the directors will be approximately 900 teachers. The pilot will introduce the infusion of gender equity pedagogy into K?12 professional development and subsequent STEM teaching.
