Broadening the Impact of STEM Education: The Community College Leadership Role II, 2017-2019

通过该项目进行的活动将帮助社区学院领导者建立必要的重要联系和伙伴关系，以建立和维持他们的STEM项目，以及指导和培养新的合作。拟议的活动将有助于加强和扩大国家社区学院的作用，因为它们继续满足对训练有素的技术劳动力日益增长的需求;在解决STEM领域的全国学生完成议程方面发挥关键作用;面对保持美国的挑战。全球竞争力。该项目扩大了社区学院在STEM技术人员教育中的领导作用;鼓励更多的社区学院开发和加强与ATE相关的计划;创建和支持开发和培养STEM专业和领导力发展机会的场所;并传播ATE计划的价值，资源和成就。以下提议的活动建立在AACC之前由国家科学基金会支持的努力基础上：1）2017年，2018年和2019年的三次国家ATE主要研究者会议; 2）继续AACC成功的MentorLinks计划，以帮助另外10所社区学院建立新的项目或加强STEM领域的现有项目; 3）一份在线出版物，记录了基于MentorLinks导师培训模式和指导准则的成功STEM导师战略; 4）一份全国思想领袖峰会和会议记录报告，重点是实施循证教学战略，支持代表性不足的学生在STEM方面取得成功; 5）通过演讲、专题报道、网站、会议记录和社交媒体技术传播ATE项目资源、信息和影响力;以及6）评估，包括对参与MentorLinks的44所学院（和17名代表性导师）的纵向研究2002-2016年计划。

The activities conducted through this project will help community college leaders to make the important connections and partnerships necessary to build and sustain their STEM programs, as well as to mentor and nurture new collaborations. The proposed activities will help to strengthen and expand the role of the nation's community colleges as they continue to meet the increasing demand for a trained technical workforce; play a critical role in addressing the national student completion agenda in STEM fields; and face the challenges of maintaining U.S. global competitiveness.This project broadens the impact of community college leadership in STEM technician education; encourages greater numbers of community colleges to develop and strengthen ATE-related programs; creates and supports venues for developing and nurturing STEM professional and leadership development opportunities; and disseminates the value, resources, and accomplishments of the ATE program. The following proposed activities build upon AACC's previous efforts supported by the National Science Foundation: 1) Three National ATE Principal Investigators Conferences in 2017, 2018, and 2019; 2) Continuation of AACC's successful MentorLinks program to help an additional 10 community colleges establish new programs or strengthen existing ones in STEM fields; 3) An online publication documenting Strategies for Successful STEM Mentoring, based on the MentorLinks mentor training model and mentoring guidelines; 4) A national Thought Leaders' Summit and proceedings report focused on implementing evidence-based teaching strategies for supporting student success in STEM among underrepresented students; 5) Dissemination of ATE program resources, information, and impact through presentations, feature stories, website, conference proceedings, and social media technologies; and 6) Evaluation, including a longitudinal study of the 44 colleges (and 17 representative mentors) that participated in the MentorLinks program from 2002-2016.
