Model Overview
 |
This model includes a number of strategic activities:
- Implementation of Collaborative Model: Train and mentor regional participants in how to create STEM-related collaborations and assist these collaborative networks in creating action plans which utilize research-based promising practices in the areas of informal learning and evaluation and assessment. AAUW regional liaisons provide support to regional collaboratives through an in-depth knowledge of the NGCP model and a connection to AAUW and other regional efforts to improve opportunities for girls in STEM.
- Dissemination and Outreach: In partnership with regional and professional organizations, document and promote coordination and collaboration among girl-serving STEM programs throughout the United States and Puerto Rico by implementing an on-going communication system linking these organizations.
- Collaboration Support: Offer mini-grants to girl-serving STEM-focused programs as an incentive to collaborate and to assist in informal learning and assessment and evaluation activities and projects.
- Research Evaluation: Conduct evaluation of the NGCP to determine effectiveness of collaboration and the impact of collaboration and implementation of STEM research-based promising practices at national, regional, and local levels.
"Working with the Collaborative has been most fulfilling because it personifies the Training Institute and the NGCP Collaboration Guide. The State Lead and I have forged a very productive professional relationship. I've had opportunities to make presentations on topics for which I have expertise. AAUW State Leadership has embraced the Regional Collaborative by providing funds for mini-grants, inviting me to present at the state convention, and write articles for their newsletter. This experience has been most rewarding." - Regional collaborative leadership team member
