With support from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI Program), this Track 1 project aims to develop a new Teaching and Learning Center in Manhattan College’s (MC) Kakos School of Arts and Sciences called the Center for the Engagement of the Manhattan College Community in Scientific Inclusive Teaching (e=mc2:SIT). The goal of the Center is to build and institutionalize a sustained faculty community of teaching and learning excellence within the science faculty focused on the success of all MC's first-year STEM majors, including those from Hispanic and other groups underrepresented in STEM. The impact of the Center programming will be measured by faculty adoption of best-practices in classrooms and changes to success, retention, and persistence to graduation student outcomes.The professional development opportunities provided by e=mc2:SIT will include: (1) A year-long program to engage faculty teaching first-year, STEM gateway courses in professional development to learn about, implement, and assess scientific and inclusive teaching practices in their classrooms, (2) Supplemental Instruction (SI) peer-to-peer facilitated content review in all first-year, gateway courses, and (3) professional development opportunities to work with first-year students. The First-Year Experience (FYE) course is designed to provide first-year students with skills to enhance their academic success. Data collection for evaluation of the faculty adoption of best-practices and the impact on student success will occur through the tracking of enrollment/withdrawal data, student grades, individual faculty interviews, survey responses, classroom observations, and annual site visits to assess fidelity of program implementation and to identify opportunities for continuous improvement. It has been well established in the literature on retention that there is a major attrition point for students immediately following their enrollment in undergraduate gateway STEM courses. MC's e=mc2:SIT program will engage faculty in professional development that will ultimately result in enhanced student success as measured by a decrease in STEM gateway course drop/fail/withdraw rates, enhanced first-year student retention rates, and persistence to graduation in four to six years. The aim of this project is to broaden participation within the professional STEM workforce.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.

在改进的本科STEM教育的支持下：西班牙裔服务机构（HSI计划），该曲目1项目旨在在曼哈顿学院（MC）Kakos艺术与科学学院开发一个新的教学中心，称为曼哈顿学院社区在科学包容性教学中的参与中心（E = MC2：sit）。该中心的目的是在科学教师中建立和制度化一个持续的教师社区，专注于所有MC第一年STEM专业的成功，包括来自西班牙裔和其他团体的STEM的成功。中心编程的影响将通过教师在课堂上的最佳实践的采用以及对研究生成果的成功，保留和持久性的变化来衡量。E= MC2提供的专业发展机会：（SIT）包括：（1）一年一年的课程：一年一年的课程，使教师一年级教学，STEM Gateway在课堂上进行教学的教学，并评估教学的教学，并纳入教学，并包括在内，并评估教学（包括实施，实施，实施，实施，实施，和评估）（ （SI）在所有第一年，门户课程和（3）与一年级学生合作的专业发展机会中，对等准备的内容评论。第一年的经验（FYE）课程旨在为第一年的学生提供提高学业成功的技能。通过跟踪入学率/提款数据，学生成绩，个人教职员工访谈，调查回应，课堂观察以及对计划实施的评估忠诚度的年度现场访问和确定不断改进的机会，可以通过跟踪入学/提款数据，学生等级，个人教师访谈，调查回应，调查回应，调查回答，调查回应，调查回应，调查回应，调查回应，调查回应，调查回应，调查回应，调查回应，调查回应，调查，进行评估，对学生成功的影响进行评估的数据收集和对学生成功的影响。关于保留的文献已经很好地确定了学生在大学入学后立即有一个主要属性。 MC的E = MC2：SIT计划将吸引教师参与专业发展，这将最终导致学生的成功增强，这是通过STEM Gateway课程降低/失败/提取率的降低，提高了第一年的学生保留率以及在四到六年内始终毕业的持久性。该项目的目的是扩大专业STEM劳动力中的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为是通过评估来获得珍贵的支持。
