STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. There is a renewed focus on the teaching and learning of these subjects—including computer science—due to the advanced skill sets required for today's careers; a perceived lack of interest among students; and, in some cases, the underrepresentation of certain races and genders in these fields of study and work. The Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core State Standards are propelling the STEM education movement and infusing hands-on, real-world learning into classrooms.
This topic aligns with the Teaching and Learning Community of Excellence. The Communities of Excellence are the primary components of advancing student achievement and supporting the whole child. Learn more
