This project aims to better serve and support a diverse population of students who are pursuing credentials in skilled technical fields. To do so, the project will guide faculty to adapt and implement Culturally Responsive Instruction in technician education courses. The project is designed to increase the retention of Hispanic students in STEM career pathways, particularly in advanced-technology fields. The project builds on the Hispanic Serving Community College KickStarter project, the Hispanic Serving Institutions HSI/ATE Hub project, and the Westchester Community College Photonics and Laser Project. The project team will develop, pilot test, and disseminate a faculty professional development model that can help to shift faculty understanding, practice, and mindset from emphasis on perceived student deficits to asset-based thinking and mutual respect. The professional development will be organized into three tiers. Tier 1 is designed to establish awareness and support first steps. Tier 2 will focus on the development, implementation, and testing of Culturally Responsive Instruction practices in technician education. Tier 3 will focus on creating a community of instructors and emerging leaders that engages in practice, theory building, and applied research into effective educational practices. The overall project goal is to develop faculty knowledge, skills, values, attitudes, and mindset so that more Hispanic students will complete advanced technology programs. In doing so, the project can increase the diversity of the technician workforce and help to mitigate disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on Hispanic communities.This collaboration includes faculty and administrators in technician education programs, higher education researchers, experts in Culturally Responsive Instruction, and industry partners to further conceptualize, operationalize, and test the validity of Culturally Responsive Instruction in the skilled technical fields of applied engineering and applied computing and cyber-security. Additionally, the project will test the hypothesis that micro-credentials are valuable for incentivizing faculty participation in project activities and that micro-credentials will be recognized by educational and industry stakeholders as valuable evidence of expertise and experience. The mixed method evaluation is process -oriented to facilitate development of a model and outcomes-oriented to assess faculty and student outcomes that includes assessment of changes in knowledge/awareness, skills/behavior, and attitudes/mindset. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the nation’s economy.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.

该项目旨在更好地服务和支持寻求熟练技术领域证书的多元化学生群体。为此，该项目将指导教师在技术人员教育课程中适应和实施文化响应式教学。保留西班牙裔学生的 STEM 职业道路，特别是在先进技术领域。该项目建立在西班牙裔服务社区学院 KickStarter 项目、西班牙裔服务机构 HSI/ATE 中心项目以及威彻斯特社区学院光子学和激光项目的基础上。团队将开发、试点测试和传播教师专业发展模型，该模型有助于将教师的理解、实践和思维方式从强调学生的缺陷转向基于资产的思维和相互尊重。专业发展将分为三个层次。第 1 级旨在建立意识并支持第 2 级将重点关注技术人员教育中文化响应式教学实践的开发、实施和测试，第 3 级将重点创建一个由参与实践的教师和新兴领导者组成的社区。 ， 理论项目的总体目标是发展教师的知识、技能、价值观、态度和思维方式，以便更多的西班牙裔学生完成先进的技术项目。技术人员队伍，并帮助减轻 COVID-19 对西班牙裔社区的过度影响。这种合作包括技术人员教育项目的教师和管理人员、高等教育研究人员、文化响应式教学专家以及行业合作伙伴，以进一步概念化、实施和测试文化响应式教学的有效性此外，该项目还将检验以下假设：微证书对于激励教师参与项目活动很有价值，并且微证书将被教育和行业利益相关者认可。混合方法评估以过程为导向，以促进模型的开发，以结果为导向，以评估教师和学生的成果，包括评估知识/意识、技能/行为和态度/心态的变化。该项目的资金来源是先进技术教育计划，重点关注推动国家经济发展的先进技术领域的技术人员教育。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
