CCLI Conference: Transforming Undergraduate Education in STEM

该项目正在支持美国科学促进会（AAAS）在2010年秋季组织和举办课程、课程和实验室指导（CCLI）的主要研究者（PI）会议。 会议的目的是为CCLI PI提供一个机会，分享方法和战略，为多样化的本科生群体进入科学劳动力市场和作为公民参与技术社会做好准备。本次会议的总体成果是CCLI PI确定合作者，战略和行动，他们和其他人可以用来加强有前途的项目方法的设计，开发和实施，以改变本科STEM教育。会议包括全体讲座，海报会议，互动研讨会讨论那些领先的CCLI项目感兴趣的主题，并有机会与其他教师和教育领导人进行网络，致力于改善本科STEM教育。 会议将包括550名CCLI PI和50名其他与会者，包括出版商和专业协会，基金会和企业的工作人员。所有被选中参加会议的CCLI PI必须提交一个小组会议或海报。其他非国家科学基金会的参与者预计将传播有关战略和概念的信息。为了确保主题和参与者的多样性，选择考虑到学科，项目类型，机构类型，种族/民族，性别，残疾和地理位置。 现场项目评估是捕捉与会者打算在会后立即采取的行动。一项在线后续调查正在收集与会者在会议结束后三个月内采取的行动。 将开发的产品包括一个会议方案，其中载有印刷摘要和一份精美的会后出版物，其中载有示范性CCLI项目的案例研究。

The project is supporting The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to organize and run a Principal Investigator (PI) meeting for the Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Instruction (CCLI) in the fall of 2010. The objective of the conference is to provide an opportunity for CCLI PIs to share methods and strategies for preparing a diverse undergraduate student population to enter the scientific workforce and to participate as citizens in a technological society. The overall outcome of this conference is for CCLI PIs to identify collaborators, strategies, and actions that they and others can use to strengthen the design, development, and implementation of promising project approaches to transform undergraduate STEM education. The conference includes plenary lectures, poster sessions, interactive workshop discussions on topics of interest to those leading CCLI projects, and an opportunity to network with other faculty and educational leaders engaged in improving undergraduate STEM education. The conference will include 550 CCLI PIs and 50 other participants, including publishers and staff of professional societies, foundations, and business. All CCLI PIs selected to participate in the conference must present a small group session or a poster. Other non-NSF participants are expected to disseminate information about strategies and concepts. To ensure diversity among the topics and participants, selection is taking into account discipline, type of project, type of institution, race/ethnicity, gender, disability, and geographic location. The on-site project evaluation is capturing actions that participants intend to take immediately after the conference. An online follow-up survey is capturing actions that participants are taking no later than three months after the conference. Products to be developed include a conference program with printed abstracts and a glossy post-conference publication with case studies of exemplary CCLI projects.
