Facilitator: Ben Williams, NAPE Director of Special Projects

Background

The Ohio STEM Equity Pipeline started in 2009 with funding from the National Science Foundation. From 2011 to 2015, the work was expanded to 17 additional projects with funding from the Ohio Department of Education Office of Career-Technical Education, in partnership with NAPE and Columbus State Community College.

Fourteen teams of secondary CTE educators and their business and industry partners have received PIPE-STEM professional development.Ā  Each team is now implementing research- and evidence-based strategies to increase participation, persistence,Ā  and completion of diverse students in nontraditional CTE programs.

Three teams of teachers and counselors have received Micromessaging professional development and are now implementing strategies to increase the success of diverse females and underrepresented males in the STEM classroom.

Finally, in spring 2015 more than 120 counselors will receive and be trained in the use of Counselor Toolkits to provide relevant and useful information to middle school and high school students on opportunities through nontraditional and STEM careers.

More is planned for 2015 and beyond!
