The CalWomenTech Scale Up Project

智力优势：这个加州妇女科技公司的扩展项目(CWT扩展项目)是基于成功的、为期五年的GSE扩展服务赠款。最初的项目与加利福尼亚州的八个社区大学技术项目合作，以增加STEM项目招募和留住的女性人数，而她们在STEM项目中的代表性不足。该项目还向加州教育工作者和有限的全国受众传播了以研究为基础的经过验证的战略和资源。加州妇女技术学院项目大大增加了女学生的入学人数，留住了女学生和男学生。CWT扩展项目致力于将密集的加州妇女科技项目的核心活动传播给更多的教育从业者。CWT规模扩大项目基于研究：既有加州妇女技术项目本身的成功成果，也有对其他STEM从业者已被证明的实践的文献综述，其中大部分可以在IWITTS的在线经证实的实践集合(包括同行评议的文章、案例研究和网络研讨会)中找到。目标包括为教育从业者提供关于招聘和保留计划执行情况的讲习班、网络研讨会和小组辅导，以及开发一个在线学习社区。由一位经验丰富的社交媒体网络顾问进行的专业设计的外联活动将以CalWomen Tech的成功结果、专业发展机会和在线经验证的实践集为特色。广泛影响：CalWomen Tech扩展项目的最终目标是增加STEM中的女性人数。当妇女为科学技术进步作出充分贡献时，我们的国家就会富裕起来。通过为全国的实践者提供所需的工具和知识，缩小STEM课堂上女性和女孩的性别差距，加州妇女科技扩大项目有能力改变女性的生活和生计，造福所有人。该项目由高级技术教育计划共同资助。

Intellectual Merit: This CalWomenTech Scale Up Project (CWT Scale Up Project) is based on the successful, five-year GSE Extension Services grant. The original project worked with eight community college technology programs in California to increase the number of women recruited and retained to STEM programs in which they were underrepresented. The project also disseminated research-based proven strategies and resources to California educators and a limited national audience. The CalWomenTech Project has resulted in significant increases in the enrollment of female students and in the retention of both female and male students. The CWT Scale Up Project seeks to diffuse the core activities of the intensive CalWomenTech Project to a much larger audience of educational practitioners.The CWT Scale Up Project is based on research: both the CalWomenTech Project's own successful outcomes and on a literature review of the proven practices of other STEM practitioners, much of which can be found in IWITTS' online Proven Practices Collection (includes peer-reviewed articles, case studies, and webinars) developed by the CalWomenTech Project. Objectives include providing educational practitioners with workshops, webinars, and group coaching on recruitment and retention plan implementation, along with development of an online learning community. A professionally designed outreach campaign by an experienced social media networking consultant will feature CalWomenTech successful results, professional development opportunities, and the online Proven Practices Collection.Broader Impacts: The end goal of the CalWomenTech Scale Up Project is to increase the number of women in STEM. Our nation is enriched when women fully contribute to the advancement of science and technology. By giving practitioners nationwide the tools and knowledge they need to close the gender gap for women and girls in STEM classrooms, the CalWomenTech Scale Up Project has the power to change the lives and livelihoods of women for the benefit of all.This project is co-funded by the Advanced Technology Education program.
