AWSEM Action Kit - for anyone interested in starting an advocacy program for girls.www.awsem.com

National Engineers Week is February 17th-23rd 2002. One of the special features of the week is "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day," which takes place on February 21. The goal is to reach one million girls by mobilizing both women and men in engineering. There is also great information provided for engineers, engineering students, K-12 teachers and students, library and science centers, and the media. The National Engineers Week site is not to be missed. Find out what else happens during Engineers Week and what you can do to get involved. www.eweek.org

Women's Equity Resource Center: Take an online professional development course in gender equity to get involved. Help to engage middle school girls in math and science. You'll learn how to excite girls' interests in math and science while including the boys. You'll learn how to encourage them to continue to pursue math and science in high school and maybe beyond. The hands on tutorial has 8 different sessions focusing on such things as gender, expectations and interactions, teaching strategies, counteracting bias, assessment, power, support, and student presentations. Visit the site and register now. www.edc.org/WomensEquity/coursead.htm

The Science Teaching Website is a resource for faculty to obtain information on science and engineering teaching practices as well as other information to better able them to develop their teaching strategies for a more diverse group of students. The site includes resources for teaching, including curriculum resources, effective teaching practices, and information on gender equity and diversity. The site also offers several model programs so that faculty can start up similar programs.
