A Professional Development Workshop Series for STEM Faculty

科学和工程机会平等委员会敦促国家科学基金会利用其召集权力，通过讲习班和在线资源影响其不断扩大的参与范围。计划中的STEM专业发展研讨会系列由菲尔丁研究生院与历史上的黑人学院和大学合作领导，将解决两个日益扩大的参与挑战：缺乏多样化的STEM教师担任领导职位，以及缺乏与文化相关的领导发展机会和资源，能够支持女性有色人种教师。该项目旨在通过召集将领导力发展、奖学金、联盟建设和职业/个人健康结合在一起的会议，实施最先进的专业发展方法，以对扩大参与产生系统影响。研讨会系列将由三个主要会议组成：1.领导力学院，旨在通过前沿的面对面和虚拟的文化响应型领导力发展机会，提高STEM女性有色系的领导力自我效能；2.作者发展学院，设计为为期四天的强化面对面培训，并提供为期一年的后续支持，以增加STEM女性有色系对STEM改革论述的学术贡献；以及3.领导者健康研讨会，旨在提供为期两天的顶峰体验，将幸福感作为有效领导力发展和进步的重要组成部分。该项目的工作很有希望解决STEM学术领导职位上长期存在的有色人种妇女不平等问题。该项目将提供领导力研究研究生证书，增加有色人种妇女提交STEM领导力/改革出版物的机会和成功率。该项目将培养一支STEM学术领袖队伍，他们被授权在国家一级领导扩大参与努力和应对多样性挑战。该项目由生物科学局(BIO)、地球科学局(GEO)、综合活动办公室(OIA)和教育与人力资源局(EHR)共同资助，得到NSF研究生教育联盟和教授计划(AGEP)的大力支持，该计划旨在增加STEM学科和历史上黑人学院和大学本科计划(HBCU-UP)中历史上代表性不足的少数族裔教师的数量。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Committee on Equal Opportunities in Sciences and Engineering has urged the National Science Foundation to utilize its convening power to impact its broadening participation portfolio through workshops and online resources. The planned STEM professional development workshop series led by the Fielding Graduate University in partnership with Historically Black Colleges and Universities will address two broadening participation challenges: the lack of diverse STEM faculty in leadership positions and the dearth of culturally relevant leadership development opportunities and resources that can support women faculty of color. The project aims to implement a state-of-the-art professional development approach through convenings that integrate leadership development, scholarship, coalition building and professional/personal wellness to have a systemic impact on broadening participation. The workshop series will consist of three major convenings: 1. Leadership Academy, designed to increase leadership self-efficacy of STEM women faculty of color through cutting-edge in-person and virtual culturally-responsive leadership development opportunities, 2. Author Development Institute, designed as a four-day intensive, in-person training with year-long follow-up support to increase the scholarly contributions of STEM women faculty of color to the STEM reform discourse, and 3. Leader Wellness Workshop, designed as a two-day capstone experience that prioritizes well-being as an essential component for effective leadership development and advancement. The work of this project holds great promise for addressing the persisting disparities related to women of color in academic leadership positions in STEM. This project will offer a postgraduate certificate in leadership studies and enrich opportunities for increasing the submission and success rates of STEM leadership/reform publications by women of color. This project will develop a cadre of academic STEM leaders who have been empowered to lead broadening participation efforts and address diversity challenges at a national level.This project is co-funded by the Directorate of Biological Sciences (BIO), the Directorate of Geosciences (GEO), the Office of Integrative Activities (OIA), and the Directorate of Education and Human Resources (EHR) with significant support from the NSF's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program, which targets increasing the number of historically underrepresented minority faculty in STEM disciplines and the Historically Black Colleges and Universities-Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP), which enhances STEM education and research at HBCUs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
