Alabama LSAMP Student Transitions

阿拉巴马州路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟(ALSAMP)强调学生过渡的高级联盟项目的目标是使许多以前的项目制度化，继续在以前项目的成功基础上继续发展，并在每个ALSAMP机构的STEM教育的关键教育关头启动新的项目。这些目标的实现将如下所示：a.制度化：已经确定了将被制度化的方案。这些项目包括：精选奖学金、助学中心、正式辅导和学生跟踪。这些计划将继续包括在项目中，但不收取任何费用。B.建立在成功的基础上：夏季桥牌项目是联盟最成功的项目，但只在牵头机构实施。在拟议的项目期内，该计划将在每个合作伙伴机构扩大和实施。现场协调员将从高中招募有远见的STEM学生。桥牌学生将准备一个研究项目，并参加全州夏季桥牌会议。C.新计划--每个ALSAMP机构的新计划将包括：高中和社区大学伙伴关系；社区大学夏季桥梁计划；学生访问研究密集型大学的科学实验室计划；本科生研究经验，以及为学生、教职员工建立LSAMP维基。维基将是一个讨论媒介，一个仓库和邮件系统，将鼓励学生和教职员工在网络浏览器中交流、协作、设置、编辑和共享材料。该网站将是理想的资源材料。上面描述的每个项目都解决了教育途径上的一些学生转折点。计划传播-ALSAMP计划活动将通过每年出版的ALSAMP杂志进行传播。每所ALSAMP机构都将在杂志上有一个栏目，以突出其项目和学生，以及对社区、州和国家的影响。评估：ALSAMP将接受内部和外部的严格评估。评估计划将侧重于项目表现、学生表现和学业表现指标。拟议的夏季桥梁项目、合作伙伴关系和维基活动对于促进知识、合作和机会，以最大限度地提高代表不足的STEM学生的成就和成功非常重要。此外，拟议的活动具有创造性，有可能在其他机构推广。提倡者经验丰富，有资格完成拟议的项目。拟议的活动将促进发现和理解，同时促进教学、培训、研究和学习，并根据学生参与者的性质，扩大代表不足的群体的参与。研究、教育、网络和伙伴关系的基础设施将得到加强，项目成果将得到广泛传播。

The goals of Alabama Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (ALSAMP)Senior-Level Alliance project which emphasizes student transitions are to institutionalize many of the previous programs, continue building on the success of the previous project and initiate new programs at critical education junctures in STEM educatin at each individual ALSAMP institution. The achievement of these goals will be accomplished as follows: A. Institutionalization: programs have been identified that will be institutionalized. These include: selected scholarships; drop-in centers; formal mentoring and student tracking. These programs will continue to be included with the project, but at no cost. B. Building on Success: The summer bridge program is the alliance's most successful program, but is implemented at only the lead institution. This program will be expanded and implemented at each partner institution during the proposed project period. Site coordinators will recruit perspective STEM students from high schools. Bridge students will prepare a research project and attend a statewide summer bridge conference. C. New programs - new programs at each ALSAMP institution will include: high school and community college partnerships; community college summer bridge programs; student visitation programs to scientific laboratories at research intensive universities; undergraduate research experiences and the establishment of a LSAMP WIKI for students, faculty and staff. The wiki will be a discussion medium, a repository and mail system that will encourage students and faculty to communicate, collaborate, set up, edit and share materials within the web browser. The site will be ideal for resource materials. Each of the programs described above addresses some student transition point along the educational pathway. Program Dissemination - ALSAMP program activities will be disseminated via the ALSAMP magazine published annually. Each ALSAMP institution will have a section of the magazine to highlight its programs and students, and impact on the community, state and nation. Evaluation: ALSAMP will undergo a rigorous evaluation, both internally and externally. The evaluation plan will focus on program performance, student performance and academic performance indicators. The proposed summer bridge programs, partnerships and wiki activities are important in advancing knowledge, collaboration and opportunities to maximize the achievement and success of underrepresented STEM students. In addition, the proposed activities are creative with the potential for replication at other institutions. The proposers are experienced and qualified to complete the proposed project.The proposed activities will advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training, research and learning and, by the nature of the student participants, will broaden participation of underrepresented groups. The infrastructure for research, education, networks and partnerships will be enhanced and project results will be disseminated broadly.
