TCUP Leaders Forum 2018

夏威夷大学提议主办2018年部落学院和大学计划（TCUP）领导人论坛（TLF）。TLF是两年一次的TCUP首席研究员和项目主任（pi / pd）以及部落学院和大学（TCU）社区其他成员的聚会，讨论在TCU发展STEM研究和教育能力的挑战和策略，TCU是为该国一些代表性最不足的群体服务的机构。TCUP的一个目标是提高为大量土著学生提供服务的部落学院和大学以及高等教育机构的科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教学和研究能力。该项目直接符合这一目标，而且将促进TCUP机构与主流大学或私营部门实体之间的伙伴关系。会议的主题将侧重于为土著学生开发途径，以支持他们从K-12到大学的STEM成功并进入STEM劳动力。会议将召集TCU管理人员、教职员工以及TCU社区以外的STEM教育专家，就这项工作进行合作。与会者将重点关注高影响力实践在路径发展中的应用，并探讨tcu和tcup资助项目在连接K-12、大学和劳动力/职业系统方面的作用。会议的调查结果将以纸本和网上形式广泛传播，以使广大读者了解。会议记录将对阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民、美国印第安人和太平洋岛民环境具有高度适用性，对寻求与tcu合作以增加原住民在STEM学位和专业中的代表性的tcu、主流大学和私营企业具有价值。会议论文集将广泛出版和传播，为tcup资助的项目提供跨学科问题的见解，重点领域包括语言学、教育、工程和基因组学。夏威夷大学将为NSF-TCUP项目领导人召开2017年部落领袖论坛。在本次研讨会上，TCUP的领导者以及TCUP社区外的专家将分享经验并共同制定战略，以加强STEM项目，重点是为土著学生开发STEM途径。Pathways的考虑范围将从K-12延伸到大学，再延伸到STEM劳动力。会议将成为这些机构之间建立伙伴关系的催化剂，这些伙伴关系将提高tcu的STEM教育和研究能力。在为期三天的TLF期间，参与者将沉浸在正式会议中，分享和探索与建立有效途径相关的创新最佳实践，以支持土著学生的STEM成果。与会者将重点讨论与STEM劳动力挑战和土著人民的机会有关的具体问题，以及TCUP对部落社区的经济影响。

The University of Hawai'i proposed to host the 2018 Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) Leaders Forum (TLF). The TLF is a biennial gathering of TCUP Principal Investigators and Project Directors (PIs/PDs) and other members of the tribal college and university (TCU) community to discuss challenges and strategies for developing STEM research and education capacities at the TCUs, institutions that serve some of the country's most underrepresented groups in STEM. A goal of the TCUP is to increase the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) instructional and research capacities of tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) and institutions of higher education that serve significant numbers of Indigenous students. This project aligns directly with that goal and moreover, will catalyze partnerships between TCUP institutions and mainstream university or private sector entities. The conference theme will focus on the development of pathways for Indigenous students that support their success in STEM from K-12 through college and into the STEM workforce. The conference will convene TCU administrators, faculty, and staff, as well as experts in STEM education external to the TCU community, to collaborate on this work. Participants will focus on the application of high-impact practices in pathway development and explore the role of TCUs and TCUP-funded projects in serving as the connector between K-12, university, and workforce/career systems. Findings from the conference will be disseminated widely in hardcopy and online to reach a broad audience. The conference proceedings will have high applicability for Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, American Indian, and Pacific Islander settings and will be of value to TCUs, mainstream universities, and private industries seeking to partner with TCUs to increase the representation of Indigenous people in STEM degrees and professions. Conference proceedings will be published and disseminated broadly, offering insights to issues across STEM disciplines as TCUP-funded projects focus areas ranging from linguistics to education, engineering, and genomics.The University of Hawai'i will convene a 2017 Tribal Leaders Forum for NSF-TCUP project leaders. At this workshop, TCUP leaders, as well as experts external to the TCUP community, will share experiences and collaboratively develop strategies to strengthen STEM programs, with an emphasis on developing STEM pathways for Indigenous students. Pathways deliberations will extend from K-12 through college and on into the STEM workforce. The conference will serve as a catalyst for forming partnerships across these institutions, partnerships that will improve the STEM educational and research capacity at TCUs. During the three-day TLF, participants will immerse in formal sessions to share and explore innovative best practices related to building effective pathways that support Indigenous students' STEM outcomes. Participants will focus on context-specific issues related to STEM workforce challenges and opportunities for Indigenous people, and the economic impact of TCUP on tribal communities.
