EXPLORE Module Objectives
After completing this module, participants will be able to:– compare the gendered difference in STEM participation
in career and technical education compared to core academic STEM classes/STEM degree programs
– focus on the leaks in the STEM pipeline: the “transitions” (middle school to high school, high school to post-secondary education, etc.)
– benchmark local STEM data against national and state trends and patterns
– identify additional data needs.

DISCOVER Module Objectives
After completing this module, participants will be able to:– demonstrate their understanding of the research
regarding non-traditional career preparation, particularly for women in STEM by summarizing specific root causes (and giving real-life examples) for the other participants
– develop hypotheses regarding root causes of gendered disproportionality in their local STEM programs
– prioritize root causes of gendered disproportionality in local STEM programs
NAPEEF © 14
Why Search for Root Causes?
Keep from fixating on asilver bullet strategy!
What are the direct causes within your control?
What causes or permits the gender-based gaps?

SELECT Module Objectives
After completing this module, participants will be able to:– identify strategies to recruit and retain girls and women in STEM
classes– identify resources for programs, tools, websites, etc., designed to
increase female participation in STEM– audit current policies, procedures, and practices and evaluate
whether they are effectively using limited human and fiscal resources to recruit and retain female students
– prioritize strategies based on local resources, effectiveness, alignment to root causes, and local capacity to implement and sustain.

SWOT Analysis
Strengths• Characteristics of the strategy that give it
an advantage over othersS
Weaknesses• Characteristics that place the strategy at
a disadvantage relative to othersW
Opportunities• External events that would leverage the
strategy into higher yieldsO
Threats• External events that would jeopardize

ACT Module Objectives
After completing this module, participants will be able to:• describe the difference between a summative or outcome
evaluation and a formative or process evaluation• write specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-
limited (SMART) objectives• create an effective evaluation plan for a selected strategy
create an implementation plan that ties objectives and evaluation together with task lists and timelines to ensure success.
