Program aims to help girls, minorities succeed in math and science - baltimoresun.com: A new teacher training program designed to help girls and minorities succeed in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics is focusing on how small actions in the classroom can affect a student's achievement.
The Educators' Equity STEM Academy began Monday for professors at the Community College of Baltimore County, and it eventually will be available to high school teachers and community college teachers elsewhere in the state.
"We're really focusing on the little messages, the implicit messages that add up over time," said Tara Ebersole, a biology professor and STEM liaison for the community college.
