Finally, Outreach Materials for Women and Girls in STEM to Show "You Can Do It!"
Create a positive welcoming school environment!
|
|
|
The key to increasing the number of women in STEM is female role models on the job. Women and girls don’t think of themselves in careers as engineers or auto technicians or computer network administrators because the percentage of women is still small.
Female role models help get these careers on the radar of women and girls, because they’re able to see someone who looks like them on the job. And they think to themselves, "That might be interesting! If she can do it, I can do it too."
If we ever want to increase our percentages beyond 8, 10 or 15 percent women in STEM, then we do need to have female role models and do outreach so that women and girls will picture themselves in these careers.
We have created the ultimate Toolkit to get more women in STEM, so every school in the country can have posters, banners, brochures, class presentations, websites and curricula featuring female role models next week if they order today! The need to create a welcoming positive environment for Women in STEM starts in your school.
Bonus: Because I want you to also have the recruitment strategies that have helped us empower schools to increase female enrollment in STEM (and retention!) you’ll receive as a free *bonus* our STEM Success for Women Master Class with 12, 1-hour audio interviews and transcripts from educators who have actually recruited and retained female students in STEM sharing the *recipe* for how they achieved this, step-by-step. We sell this interview series for $147 per user license, but it is yours free when you purchase the Toolkit before May 31.
Think what your school(s) can accomplish with ready-made female role model banners, customizable posters, outreach material templates, hard-to-find Women in STEM Classroom Resources, and proven recruitment and retention strategies from 11 top experts and practitioners on engaging female students in STEM in the STEM Success for Women Master Class.
We’ve created packages and licenses at the school, district and state-level and to introduce our brand new STEM Success Classroom Toolkit we are offering deep discounts through May 31 only for our Deal of the Month. Don’t miss out, finally a women-in-STEM solution that is high-quality, affordable and easy to implement right away!

Add your school's program contact information and logo to each poster. Add your contact details, information about your program, and your school's logo to each poster. |
We've made it easy for educators to find online role model resources that will help women and girls see themselves in all career pathways. Also, this downloadable guide includes sample curriculums and websites that teach STEM in a female-friendly way. Don't miss this; it will save STEM educators many hours of researching on their own.
Sample Resource: Dot Divas are young women that believe in the potential of computing to make a better world. The Dot Diva website offers female role model profiles, examples of how computing can be used in many careers, and a webisode video featuring a young female role model. Parents and educators can find advice for talking to young women about computing, messages and images that work to spark their interest, downloadable recruitment materials (a Dot Diva poster, brochure, and flyer), and female role model videos on YouTube.
"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

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.
You 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.

Dear STEM/CTE Educator,
I'm so excited to tell you that the free 2018 STEM Success for Women Telesummit was so successful, we've decided to make it an annual online conference! Between April 17-26, 2018 over 1,200 educators from around the country joined us and 15 speakers online to learn proven strategies for broadening participation in STEM and CTE, and 97% of participants shared that they'd recommend the Telesummit to colleagues.
Thank you so much to everyone who joined us and helped make the conference such a resounding success! I can't wait to see you online again at our next STEM Success for Women Telesummit in April 2019.
If you missed any of the live conference sessions, it's not too late to listen to free podcasts of all 12 sessions on the private conference website. Registration is still open, so you can still sign up for free access to the recordings.
It's time to increase the number of women in STEM and CTE through data-driven strategies with demonstrated outcomes that actually work!
Your STEM programs can emulate real-life changemakers that have...
- More than doubled female enrollment
- Increased retention of female AND male students
- Improved recruitment and retention of women of color
- Significantly increased the number of students in introductory courses choosing STEM majors
This free online Telesummit is filled with secrets and strategies from 15 of the country's top experts and practitioners in the successful recruitment and retention of women and underserved populations in STEM and CTE.
Our speakers shared case studies and best practices to boost your recruitment efforts and help your female students succeed.
Registration is still FREE. The National Science Foundation is supporting the 2018 STEM Success for Women Telesummit, so you can get access to the conference and recordings at no cost.
We invite all educators, particularly at the community college level, to take advantage of this one-of-a-kind free online conference.
It's not too late: Register today to listen to recordings
Here's what inaugural 2015 Telesummit participants had to say!
This online conference ran from Tuesday, April 17 to Thursday, April 26, 2018. The 2018 Telesummit is now over, but you can still sign up for free access to all conference recordings and transcripts!
