If your programs are or are not meeting Perkins non-traditional performance measures of participation and completion then this workshop is for you! LERN, the organization providing “Information That Works” is presenting a full day workshop to help struggling centers exceed performance in non-trad recruitment, participation and completion by designing appropriate programming that appeals to both genders.

The workshop is mandatory for all centers not meeting Perkins non-trad performance. Teams from each center are encouraged.

Sharing Research- and Evidence-based Strategies to Increase the Participation of Under-represented Students in STEM Pathways: A Workshop for Participating STEM Equity Pipeline Project Team Members and Others Invested in Equity in STEM (July 31, 2013)

Wed, 31 Jul 2013 17:00:00 GMT

Sharing Research- and Evidence-based Strategies to Increase the Participation of Under-represented Students in STEM Pathways: A Workshop for Participating STEM Equity Pipeline Project Team Members and Others Invested in Equity in STEM

Attend this workshop to gain innovative strategies, new tools and resources to recruit and retain under-represented students, especially females, into STEM pathways. Members of the 14 teams who have been trained throughout Ohio plus others interested in learning more about the positive effects of this project, and best practices from the field, are invited to attend this exciting and interactive workshop. Learn how a research-based Ohio-tested program improvement process is changing student participation rates in STEM. Ohio has become a leader in the work of the STEM Equity Pipeline Project, which is administered in Ohio through Columbus State Community College in collaboration with the National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity (NAPE) and The Ohio Department of Education (ODE). This project has achieved great success in helping collaborative teams of secondary and post-secondary educators and administrators develop evidence- and research-based strategies to effectively recruit under-represented students, especially females, into their STEM pathways, and provide supports to help them to persist and eventually complete their STEM programs.

Registration is free. Please click the register button on the left to RSVP.

For questions about this workshop, please contact Dr. Ben Williams at bwilli03@cscc.edu or (614)287-5689.
