The course uses resources from STEM Equity Pipeline Project which is sponsored by National Alliance for Partners in Equity. Throughout this course you will explore the issues surrounding equitable academic opportunities for girls and women in the STEM areas and become familiar with the process you can use in your schools to help build, support, and sustain the involvement of girls and women in STEM courses and career pathways. As a final course project, you will design a plan for improving gender equity throughout your school, district, or SAU. course description www.opennh.org select Courses select Best Practices, scroll to BP-16. http://nheon.org/opennh/courses/courses-curriculum.html

  5. Understanding Gender Equity Issues in STEM Education In this course, you can choose between three options for projects, depending on your needs and interests. You should choose the project that will be most useful to your teaching or position. In each of the units, you will be given instructions for each of the three options of project work. You will only need to complete the activities for the Project Option you select. Once you select an option for a project, you should stay with that option. A complete project must include all parts.Project Option 1  You will complete a “mini 5 step process” within your classroom to see if you can improve the instruction you provide to your students. This project is a bit of action research for you to accomplish. This can be done individually, or in collaboration with a group.Project Option 2  Set up a wiki on Wikispaces, or PBWiki workspace either for yourself or for a class group all choosing this option. Each person in the group has to contribute several resources on each of the Units you cover in class. You will start with the course resources for each unit and each person needs to find additional resources to post on the wiki. You can share these resources with your school community when completed.Project Option 3  Develop a Voicethread tutorial to use with your students that discusses gender inequities and helps them understand the issues and promotes equity in STEM related courses. This can be done individually, or in collaboration with a group. course project
