EESTEM II Pre-Institute Survey |
Informed Consent: Cohort 2 2018-19
You are invited to participate in the Educators Equity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (EESTEM) Academy Phase II study and evaluation. This project is being conducted by The National Alliance for partnerships in Equity (NAPE) and funded through the National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technician Education (ATE) Program (DUE 1601548). We hope to learn the impact of the Educators Equity in STEM II Academy (the Academy) on your teaching practices and the role that organizational-level features (i.e. college, department, and program levels) can play in determining implementation success. You are a participant in cohort 2 of the Academy in the 2018-19 academic year.
