New State RFA
Dear Colleagues,
The National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity Education Foundation is seeking
two additional states to participate in the STEM Equity Pipeline Project starting
October 1, 2008.
The STEM Equity Pipeline Project will be working with 13 states over 5 years to
increase the capacity of individuals in the state who conduct science, technology,
engineering and math (STEM) professional development to integrate research based
best practices on increasing the participation of women and girls in STEM into their
existing training work. We will be working through the leadership of the career
and technical education systems in each of the states to build state teams of STEM
related organizations conducting professional development with teachers. The first
five states participating are CA, IL, OK, MO, WI. In addition to technical assistance
and training provided to state teams the project will maintain a web-based virtual
learning community and conduct webinars and webcasts on gender equity strategies
in STEM that will be available nationwide.
