Learn about proven resources on increasing the number of female students in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs. Participants will learn about effective, evidence-based strategies that they can use to recruit and retain female students in their STEM classes. The webinar is presented by Donna Milgram, Executive Director of the Institute for Women in Trades, Technology & Science (IWITTS).
In this webinar, participants will learn:
-What changed in one computer science program so that now 42% of their students are women.
-How a short course in spatial reasoning can significantly increase retention rates of female (and male) students.
-How community college technology programs in California created “leadership teams” to recruit and retain more female students.
-Step-by-step, how to use a blueprint worksheet to recruit more female students to STEM programs.
-How to use the free Proven Practices Collection on the IWITTS website to find even more valuable resources on recruiting and retaining women and girls in STEM.
This webinar will take place at 1 pm EST.
