| Adding It Up: Helping Children Learn Mathematics Curriculum Topic Study EDThoughts: What We Know About Mathematics Teaching and Learning Effects of Teachers’ Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching on Student Achievement Helping Children Learn Mathematics Science Can Take Her Places! Parents’ Guide Sally Ride Science developed Science Can Take Her Places! This website encourages girls’ interests in science, math, and technology. A research-based guide for parents, grades 4-7, is linked and easily downloaded. The parent’s guide is available in Spanish. Guide to Promising Practices in Informal Information Technology Education for Girls The National Center for Women in Information Technology and Girl Scouts of the USA published the Guide to Promising Practices in Informal Information Technology Education for Girls. The report was prepared by Carrie Liston, Karen Peterson, and Vicky Ragan and is based on a survey of 156 programs. It identifies eight practices that contribute most to success. Three publications on model programs The National Science Foundation’s Research on Gender in Science and Engineering program released New Formulas for America’s Workforce I & II, and New Tools. All three publications catalog projects and products funded by the program from 1993 through 2005. They represent educational projects, dissemination products and events, and basic social science research. Outreach Examples The Society of Women Engineers catalog of K-12 Programs at SWE includes a list of programs implemented by chapters all over the country.
