To enhance the quality of STEM programs at TCUP institutions, QEM will design and conduct two workshops for TCUP project staff, in Years One and Two respectively: Strategic Planning Within/Sustaining Enhancements Beyond TCUP-supported Projects and Financial Management Within TCUP Projects. To increase the participation/quality of preparation of Native individuals in STEM careers, QEM will design and conduct two professional development workshops to support STEM faculty at TCUP institutions: The Fundamentals of Education Research and Assessment and Evaluation of TCUP-supported STEM Instructional Strategies (in Years One and Two respectively).QEM will continue a Faculty Fellowship initiative that supports the six-month placement each year at NSF of a STEM faculty member from a TCUP-supported institution to provide the Fellow with exposure to, and immersion in, the Foundation?s programs, policies, and procedures. This initiative provides NSF program directors and staff the opportunity to interact directly with and gain insight from a TCUP faculty member. QEM will to continue offering, in each of the three years, ten-week summer internships at QEM for five STEM students from TCUP institutions. The TCUP Internship program is focused on activities and experiences that encourage the participating students to persist in STEM.Intellectual Merit. In implementing this project, QEM will utilize/build on experience gained, through prior TCUP support, in working with faculty, staff, administrators, and students at TCUs. The project?s faculty-focused workshops will advance participants? knowledge and understanding of STEM education research methodologies as well as of assessment and evaluation of the effectiveness of STEM pedagogical strategies, while workshops for TCUP project staff will strengthen their strategic planning and management skills to benefit both current and future STEM initiatives. The Faculty Fellowships and Student Internships will continue to offer the reciprocal benefits of new experiences and shared/diverse perspectives for the Fellows, interns, and NSF Program Directors and staff. The project will be enriched by the advice and counsel of an External Advisory Committee composed of Tribal College leaders and others with first-hand knowledge and experience working with Tribal Colleges.Broader Impacts. The Project?s initiatives will impact the way that STEM is taught at TCUP institutions; enable faculty to gauge the effectiveness of their approaches to STEM teaching; increase familiarity with other NSF funding opportunities as well as with the Foundation?s proposal review process; increase the project staff?s understanding of strategic planning and sustainability strategies as well as of effective financial management and increase student understanding of/interest in pursuing STEM careers. Workshop information, registration and presentations; information on the faculty fellowship/internship opportunities; and other project-related information will be available at QEM?s website to ensure broader dissemination of this information beyond email communication with STEM faculty and project staff.

为了提高TCUP机构的STEM计划的质量，QEM将分别为TCUP项目工作人员设计和开展两个研讨会，分别在第一年和两年中：在TCUP项目中，除了TCUP支持的项目和财务管理以外的战略规划/维持增强功能。为了提高本地人在STEM职业中的参与/准备质量，QEM将设计和举办两个专业发展研讨会，以支持TCUP机构的STEM教师：教育研究和评估的基础知识以及对TCUP支持的STEM教学策略的评估和评估（分别为“一年和两个年”）。从TCUP支持的机构，为研究员提供基金会计划，政策和程序的暴露和沉浸。该计划为NSF计划主管和员工提供了直接与TCUP教职员工互动并获得见解的机会。 QEM将继续在QEM的三年夏季实习中，继续提供来自TCUP机构的五个STEM学生的夏季实习。 TCUP实习计划的重点是鼓励参与学生坚持不懈的活动和经验。在实施该项目时，QEM将通过先前的TCUP支持获得/建立与TCUS的教职员工，员工，管理员和学生一起获得的经验。该项目以教师为中心的研讨会会推进参与者吗？对STEM教育研究方法以及对STEM教学策略有效性的评估和评估的知识和理解，而TCUP项目工作人员的研讨会将增强其战略计划和管理技能，以使当前和未来的STEM计划受益。教师奖学金和学生实习将继续为研究员，实习生和NSF计划董事和员工提供新的经验以及共享/多样的观点的相互利益。该项目将由由部落学院领导人和其他具有与部落大学合作的经验的外部咨询委员会的建议和顾问来丰富。该项目的举措将影响TCUP机构教授STEM的方式；使教师能够评估其茎教学方法的有效性；增加对其他NSF资金机会以及基金会提案审查过程的熟悉程度；提高项目人员对战略计划和可持续性战略以及有效的财务管理的理解，并提高学生对从事STEM职业的兴趣的理解。研讨会信息，注册和演示；有关教师奖学金/实习机会的信息； QEM的网站将提供其他与项目相关的信息，以确保与STEM教师和项目人员的电子邮件通信之外更广泛地传播此信息。
