The ultimate toolkit to increase the number of women in STEM programs in your entire school, district or state


Attention STEM Education Leaders:

Your institution offers high quality science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, but how do you maximize access and the impact of your course offerings? If you’re like the deans, superintendents, program directors, and other leaders in STEM education I talk to every day, you’re frustrated.

consttech cropYou imagine seeing more women and girls enrolled in your STEM classes -- prepared to explore all the engaging and fulfilling opportunities available in these career pathways.

Many educators who really, sincerely want to have more female students are held back because the environment in their STEM or Career and Technical Education (CTE)programs is just not welcoming to women and girls.

That’s why I created the STEM Success Classroom Toolkit.

Finally, the guesswork is taken away, and you have all the proven materials you need to create a positive, welcoming environment for your female students in your ENTIRE institution, district, or state.

Add your contact details, information about your program, and your school's logo to each poster.

Print them in your office on your own laser or inkjet printer. As easy as printing a mailing label!

 

toolkitcheckmarkHard to Find Women in STEM Classroom Resources:
 

Bibliography Cover

We've made it easy for your educators to find online role model resources that will help women and girls see themselves in all career pathways. Also, find sample curriculums and websites that teach STEM in a female-friendly way. Don't miss this; it will save your educators many hours of researching this themselves.

"For a long time, we heard from educators, 'Well, we can't find any girls who WANT to be welders' - but now, there's an increased perception that supporting female students in male-dominated careers is a much bigger deal, and there are resources available that can give all students a better ability to explore and pursue their interests. IWITTS materials like the STEM bibliography and Outreach Kit are a huge part of the resources we can offer to districts to help them serve their students. It's not just about Perkins compliance anymore."

~ Don Levine, CTE Education Specialist, Alaska Department of Education and Early Development

 

toolkitcheckmarkWomen in Technology Outreach Kit:
 

outreachkitflyerscollage2It's challenging to develop outreach materials to recruit women to STEM! To help you we have developed these easy to use templates for a Women in STEM brochure, a flyer that describes your program and includes images of female role models, a recruitment PowerPoint presentation, and a Women in STEM section of your school's website.

You just have to fill in the blanks in the templates with the information from your school's programs and we've done the rest of the work for you!

 

toolkitcheckmarkSTEM Success for Women Master Class:
 

masterclassEmpower educators in your entire school, region or state to recruit and retain more female students in STEM. The Master Class includes downloadable transcripts and audio of 12 sessions on increasing the number of women in STEM.
