MPWR II: Mentoring Partnerships for Women in RUME

该项目将有助于促进本科数学教育研究妇女伙伴关系的发展，并为本科数学教育研究的所有职业阶段的妇女建立可持续的支持系统。根据国家报告和研究成果所阐述的需求，该项目将强调面对面指导和伙伴关系体系，目标是女性研究人员参与本科数学教育。该项目还将发挥交流中心的作用，为已有成就的妇女提供指导进入该领域的新人的机会，并在所有职业阶段的本科数学教育的妇女研究人员之间建立伙伴关系。该项目的目标是为本科数学教育研究界的女性提供一个讨论具体问题的环境，并促进研究生和教师之间的指导和合作机会，无论是大三还是大四，在研究界。该项目将在MPWR I取得成功的基础上，与每年的RUME会议同时举行一次研讨会，启动这一进程。该项目将有70名参与者。在RUME会议之后，参与者将提交正式的指导和伙伴关系网络的请求，该网络由一名高级教师，两名初级教师和三名研究生组成。该项目与国家支持STEM学科内妇女和少数民族职业发展的努力相一致。它以促进个人面对面指导和伙伴关系机会的形式提出了这种支持的具体建议。通过支持女性接受本科数学教育，该项目旨在增加从事本科数学教育研究的研究生进入学术职位的人数，并提高已经担任学术职位的女性初级和高级教师的生产力。MPWR研讨会将进一步扩大在更广泛的基于学科的教育研究（DBER）社区中从事本科数学教育研究的妇女的作用。

This project will help stimulate the growth of Partnerships for Women in RUME (Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education) and foster a sustainable support system for women at all career stages in undergraduate mathematics education research. Stemming from the need articulated in national reports and research findings, the project will emphasize face-to-face mentoring and a partnership system that targets participation amongst women researchers within undergraduate mathematics education. The project will also function as a clearinghouse for opportunities for established women to mentor newcomers into the field, and to build partnerships among women researchers of undergraduate mathematics education at all career stages. The project goals are to provide an environment for women in the undergraduate mathematics education research community to discuss issues specific to them, as well as facilitate mentorship and partnership opportunities among graduate students and faculty, both junior and senior, within the research community. Building on the success of MPWR I, the project will initiate the process with a seminar that will occur in conjunction with the annual RUME conference. The project will have seventy participants. Following the RUME conference, participants will submit requests for formalized mentoring and partnership networks composed of one senior faculty, two junior faculty, and three graduate students. The project aligns with the national effort to support the careers of women and minorities within the STEM disciplines. It takes up specific recommendations for this support in the form of fostering personal, face-to-face mentoring and partnership opportunities. By supporting women in undergraduate mathematics education, the project seeks to increase the number of graduate students pursuing undergraduate mathematics education research who will go onto academic positions, as well as to increase the productivity of female junior and senior faculty who already hold academic positions. The MPWR seminar will further expand the role of women pursuing research in undergraduate mathematics education within in the broader Discipline Based Education Research (DBER) community.
