Numerous programs and initiatives to create gender equity in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) have been implemented only to lose effectiveness or fade away. Had these programs had the benefit of collaboration with other girl-serving projects, organizations and institutions, and tools to assess and evaluate the impact of their efforts, their capacity for continuation and/or broader impact could have been substantially increased.

Collaboration, as an interactive process, enables professionals across projects and communities to generate and carry out creative solutions and strategies that maximize benefit beyond that which one project or community could accomplish. This model includes a number of strategic activities that provide value and incentives to encourage organizations and individuals to work together and to use the leverage of a network or collaboration of individual girl-serving STEM programs to create the tipping point for gender equity in STEM.

Effective Strategies for Working with Girls in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (Part 2) This webcast is a follow-up event to our November 2007 webcast. We will discuss relevant research about working effectively with girls in STEM and highlight two program models that are successfully integrating research-based strategies into their girl-serving STEM programs. The November 2007 webcast recording and summary publication are both available online. |
