Accelerating Systemic Change Network Inaugural Network Meeting

这个项目是一个新的STEM教育研究网络的首次研讨会，该网络自称为加速系统变化网络（ASCN）。研讨会的主要议程项目是战略性地规划网络的发展，使其能够支持部门和机构的初步努力，以改变他们的教学和学习实践。在这次会议上，将建立工作组，工作组成员将彼此分享他们自己的工作，为他们的小组制定议程，并阐明他们对更大网络的愿景和目标。支持ASCN启动的智力价值和更广泛的影响在于，这将扩大关于如何有效地在高等教育中带来系统性组织变革的知识库，以便使用循证实践来支持有效的学生学习成为新常态。

This project is the inaugural workshop meeting of a new STEM Education research network calling itself the Accelerating Systemic Change Network (ASCN). At the workshop the main agenda Item is to strategically plan the growth of the network to bring it to the point where it can support fledgling efforts in departments and institutions to transform their teaching and learning practices. At this meeting, working groups will be established and working group members will share their own work with one another, establish an agenda for their group, and articulate their vision and goals for the larger network. The intellectual merit and the broader impacts of supporting the start-up of the ASCN is that this will expand the knowledge base about how to effectively bring about systemic organizational change within higher education so that using evidence-based practices to support effective student learning becomes the new normal.
