| Teaching
Gender Equity in Mathematics and Science (TGEMS), is
a two-year, $140,000
supplement to the Math and Science Partnership
(MSP) Grant. The purpose
of TGEMS is to provide middle and high school teachers
with a professional development program on gender equity
in math and science classrooms. TGEMS is a replication
and extension of the research-based model, "Weaving
Gender Equity into Math Reform" created by Technical
Education Research Centers, Inc, developed as a response
to the under-representation of women in math and science
careers. TGEMS will be delivered over a two-year period
as a component of the MSP Induction Project, an initiative
aimed at retention of new math and science teachers in
El Paso area public schools. Anticipated products of TGEMS
include sample lessons for teaching gender equity in math
and science and a protocol for teacher preparation. |
