As promised, a comparison: New skin, headings, emphases but spectrally the new plan retains most of the backbone of our 2018-2023 plan. Both 2018 & 2024 weave a STEM-for-All thread, 2024 just weaves with heavier yarn. How might #47 feel about it? Page 6! stemedcoalition.squarespace.com/updates/compar…

STEM ed. is a ā€œblinking redā€ urgent task for America (Dario Gil @ issues.org/wp-content/upl…) Answer? -> scale STEM! School+biz partnerships, local context, convergence, competency, STEM credentials, WBL, Ecosystems --> blinking green. How?-> fas.org/publication/k-… #STEMworkforce

#Math on 2024 NAEP :( nces.ed.gov/nationsreportc…. Likely to downspin as more teachers get #STEM = kids interpret real data, predict outcomes, explore ethics, create solutions....yet math q's on NAEP-->nationsreportcard.gov/mathematics/sa… But wait! :) HR730 in Congress - congress.gov/bill/119th-con…

"...recipes & protocols box in learners, or they could be handed the tools to fumble about, question & create. One mode is efficient, the other is meaningful. One fosters conformists, the other spawns innovators." tinyurl.com/STEMlearn #STEM trades efficiency 4 innovation.

STEM's vexing challenges: Are our teachers #STEM-ready? Is AI usurping broader STEM imperative? How to widen participation w/o triggering censors? How pockets of excellence become landscapes of brilliance?... all slayed by STEM Education Coalition & STEMx members on The Hill yesterday!

U.S. STEM ed. faces 8 grand challenges that rock our foundation to its core. Each is surmountable, indeed leverageable, by mobilized STEM communities and organizations piloted by proactive leadership. It'll need to be a watershed moment. What & how coming soon! #STEMEducation

The first of 8 *Grand Challenges* for STEM Ed. is... TEACHER TRAINING HASN'T KEPT UP WITH STEM TEACHER PRACTICE. But good news!--> this panel of rockstars peels the onion at the JFF Horizons conference June 11. See you there? Seven more Challenges & Solutions coming soon.
