AbstractThis project seeks to conduct research on a new school for African-American boys under a charter to 100 Black Men in Oakland, California. The PI from Stanford University investigates how leaders of the school plan and design instruction to meet the needs of African-American boys where 75% are eligible for free and/or reduced lunch. The leadership serves as the primary target for this study. The PI chronicles the implementation process to provide the STEM education community with first-hand information about effective school development and implementation for African-American boys in STEM fields. During the first year, the school operates grades 3, 6, and 7. Each successive year, school leaders add kindergarten and/or one or more of the remaining grades until the school reaches the entire K-12 level. A mixed methods approach uses interviews, observations, and content analysis to gather data about the design, implementation, and leadership of the school. The PI examines how the leadership understands the needs of students, develop standards, plan curricula, select pedagogy, and provide scaffolds for teachers and students. The PI also explores how the leadership selects teachers and supports their professional development as well as summarizes many aspects of the organization and programming. The PI reviews planning documents through retrospective analysis to obtain a more accurate account of efforts taken from the initiation of ideas about the school to implementation for the first year. Regarding proposed outcomes, the project offers a vision of what works in science STEM classroom for African American boys and tracks the impact of instructional approaches on the interest of students in science, attitudes about belonging, and science achievement. A RAPID is the most appropriate funding avenue for this timely and worthy effort of national importance.

摘要该项目旨在在加利福尼亚州奥克兰的100名黑人男子的宪章下对一所非裔美国男孩的新学校进行研究。斯坦福大学的PI调查了学校计划和设计指导的领导者如何满足非裔美国男孩的需求，其中75％有资格免费和/或减少午餐。 领导力是这项研究的主要目标。 PI记录了实施过程，以为STEM教育社区提供有关STEM领域中非裔美国人男孩有效的学校发展和实施的第一手信息。在第一年，学校经营3、6和7年级。每个连续的年份，学校领导者都会增加幼儿园和/或剩余成绩中的一个或多个，直到学校达到整个K-12水平为止。混合方法方法使用访谈，观察和内容分析来收集有关学校设计，实施和领导的数据。 PI研究了领导者如何了解学生的需求，制定标准，计划课程，选择教育学并为教师和学生提供脚手架。 PI还探讨了领导力如何选择教师并支持其专业发展，并总结了组织和编程的许多方面。 PI通过回顾性分析审查了计划文件，以更准确地说明了第一年对学校到实施的想法所做的努力。关于拟议的结果，该项目对非洲裔美国男孩的科学STEM课堂上有效，并跟踪教学方法对学生对科学的利益的影响，对归属的态度和科学成就。快速是为及时，值得的国家重要努力而努力的最合适的资金途径。
