hypothesis is that if students strengthenspatial skills and earn a higher grade in their credit-bearing course this will subsequently lead togreater persistence and degree completion. The final spatial skills course was delivered in fall2017, a semester longer than originally planned. This no-cost extension allowed the project togather an additional semester’s worth of student course and persistence data. The communitycollege partners are currently collecting data about student enrollment since the semester inwhich they completed the PSVT:R pre assessment, grades, and graduation status to allow for thisanalysis.Another area the study is currently examining is the impact of using the iPad for sketchingpractice on student outcomes.

Selecting the target demographic was the first step. It has been statistically shownthat the level of STEM confidence and interest from the end of intermediate school to the end ofhigh school decreases drastically [1].

There were potential barriers such as: students having never travelled, did not havetheir passport or proper documentation to get one.

, establishing agreed-upon professional values creates an accountability structurefor the team. As soon as everyone commits to a common set of professional values, the entireteam is empowered to uphold them. This shared responsibility levels the power dynamics withina team by providing clear guidance on how values inform how the team works. In the case ofHES, these shared professional values were then used to write their strategic plan and their newpromotion and tenure guidelines. By formalizing these shared values into these policy guidelines,it ensures an alignment between the structure of rewards and the activities which the researchersvalue. This then de-risks the pursuit of these activities.Over the course of the last two years, we have extracted

The first was to determine the effects ofparticipating in the professional development.

The second purpose was todetermine the effects of receiving coaching, in the context of ongoing professional development,on instructional practices, as measured by the RTOP. This second objective was not originallyplanned but emerged when it was noted that faculty members were requesting feedback and
