GSE/EXT - STEM Equity Pipeline 2.0

智力优势：全国平等教育伙伴关系联盟基金会提议，通过利用其示范推广服务项目STEM平等管道（SEP）（已在12个州成功实施），扩大其咨询和专业发展服务套件，并将其覆盖范围扩大到另外10个州，以增加完成科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）课程的研究在高中和社区大学的水平。SEP模式的一个核心优势是它与《帕金斯法案》（Perkins 2006）的实施相结合，该法案为州和地方一级的职业和技术教育（CTE）的改善提供资金，并包括一项问责措施，要求所有接受者增加非传统CTE计划中代表性不足的学生（即STEM中的妇女）的参与和完成。该项目将采用STEM公平项目改进流程（PIPE-STEM）模型，该模型包括绩效差距分析，确定与基于研究的战略相一致的根本原因，以及评估以衡量结果，以维持教育系统的变革。由STEM研究和实践专家组成的性别平等推广服务小组（ESG）将向由教育专业人员组成的州推广服务代理（SESA）提供咨询和专业发展服务，为高中和社区大学教育工作者提供技术援助和专业发展。SESA将接受培训，通过以下方式使用SEP专业发展方案提供推广服务：（1）培训培训员学院;（2）年度会议，分享最佳做法;（2）专业发展网络研讨会;（3）虚拟学习社区;（4）持续咨询。该模式的其他独特之处包括：新州的招聘和审查过程，经过测试的组织结构;经验丰富的培训师，培训方法和内容;完善的机构变革过程;使用帕金斯数据改进数据驱动决策的指导;基于研究的资源STEM研究和有前途的实践计划中的妇女;以及对正规教育的关注。在与州教育部和地方教育机构的工作人员合作时，对每一种能力都进行了定制和改进，以提高效力。这个过程的重点是系统地检查和了解妇女面临什么障碍，以参与STEM相关的研究计划，而不是跳到结论和实施一个有缺陷的？银弹？溶液这一过程确保国家工作队将投入时间和精力提供咨询、专业发展和技术援助，从而实施实际取得可衡量成果的改进战略。更广泛的影响：SEP 2.0将使服务的州数从12个增加到22个，并在目前已培训的2690名推广人员的基础上增加一倍以上。STEM Equity Pipeline的一套专业发展计划包括其标志性的机构变革模型PIPE-STEM，其特点是基于反馈的改进，以及两个新的专业发展计划：微消息传递，以达到和教导每一个学生，基于课堂的有效教学实践的教师培训; STEM Equity Counselor培训，专注于有效的招聘和职业发展战略。公共教育部所有专业发展的组成部分是研究性别与种族、文化、残疾和社会经济地位等其他因素的交叉点及其对妇女和女孩的影响。在STEM教育和向STEM职业过渡方面取得成功。

Intellectual Merit: The National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity Education Foundation proposes to increase its impact by leveraging its model extension services project, the STEM Equity Pipeline (SEP), that has been successfully implemented in twelve states, by expanding its suite of consulting and professional development services and its reach to ten additional states with the goal of increasing the number of diverse women completing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs of study at the high school and community college level. A core strength of the SEP model is its integration with the implementation of the Perkins Act (Perkins 2006), which funds improvement of career and technical education (CTE) at the state and local level, and includes an accountability measure requiring all recipients to increase the participation and completion of underrepresented students in nontraditional CTE programs (i.e. women in STEM). The project will apply the Program Improvement Process for Equity in STEM (PIPE-STEM) model that incorporates performance gap analysis, identification of root causes aligned with research-based strategies, and evaluation to measure outcomes to sustain change in educational systems. An Extension Services Group (ESG) of gender equity in STEM research and practice experts will provide consulting and professional development services to state extension service agents (SESAs) made up of education professionals that provide technical assistance and professional development to high school and community college educators. SESAs will be trained to provide extension services using the suite of SEP professional development programs via: (1) a train-the-trainer institute; (2) an annual conference where best practices will be shared; (2) professional development webinars; (3) a Virtual Learning Community and (4) on-going consulting. Other unique features of the model include: recruitment and vetting process for new states, a tested organizational structure; experienced trainers, training methods and content; a refined institutional change process; guidance for improving data-driven decisions using Perkins data; research-based resources on women in STEM programs of study and promising practices; and a focus on formal education. Each of these capacities has been customized and refined for greater effectiveness while working with staff in State Departments of Education and local education agencies. The process is focused on systematically examining and understanding what barriers women face to participation in STEM related programs of study rather than jumping to conclusions and implementing a flawed ?silver bullet? solution. The process ensures that State Teams will invest time and effort in providing consulting, professional development and technical assistance that leads to the implementation of improvement strategies that actually achieve measurable results. Broader Impact: SEP 2.0 will increase the number of states served from 12 to 22 and more than double its reach beyond the current 2690 extension agents already trained. The STEM Equity Pipeline's suite of professional development programs includes its signature institutional change model, PIPE-STEM, featuring improvements based on feedback, and two new professional development programs: Micro-messaging to Reach and Teach Every Student, teacher training on classroom-based effective instructional practices; and STEM Equity Counselor training, focused on effective recruitment and career development strategies. Integral to all the SEP professional development is the research on the intersection of gender and other factors such as race, culture, disability, and socio-economic status and their influence on women and girl?s access and success in STEM education and transition to STEM careers.
