Teachers Encouraging Women in Science Conference (OWWSTE Project)
Opportunities for Wisconsin Women in Science, Technology and
Engineering (OWWSTE) is a training program for secondary teachers and
counselors in Wisconsin to increase awareness of gender bias in science
and technology education, and to introduce educators to regional and
national programs available to promising female students in science,
technology and engineering. OWWSTE will provide teacher and counselor
leaders with media (including an inspirational and informational
video), instructional tools, and training that they can share with
peers in their districts during in-service training sessions or at
summer academies.
In return for three graduate credits, teacher leaders will train others
in their school system and community about gender issues that still
exist in the science classroom and student biases toward
science-related fields. Finally, teachers will collect data about
students' academic and occupational interests to help in planning of
future state and national programs.
