Media and Informal Science Learning. Report June 2009: Symposia Examine Solutions for STEM Education. The National Research Council Center for Education, National Academy of Engineering (NAE), CCST, and the California Teacher Advisory Council (Cal TAC) have hosted three symposia designed to inform and develop a California STEM Innovation Network (CSI-N), in order to more effectively coordinate and drive the issues of STEM education in the public agenda.
The first of the meetings took place on February 2, 2009, when a group of California science and mathematics teachers, policymakers, researchers, and representatives from business, industry, and higher education met to consider how California could do a better job of preparing today's students for the future STEM workforce. The Symposium was cosponsored by CCST and the Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning (CFTL), as well as the California Teacher Advisory Council (Cal TAC). Cal TAC released a summary report on the symposium in April. Battelle Center for Mathematics and Science Education Policy. What is a STEM School?
Describing STEM School Models Tuesday, November 29, 2011 3-4:30 pm CST In this webinar, CEMSE and Battelle Center staff will present current their research work on describing and measuring the presence of STEM school models. They will reference the schools featured in the earlier webinars to highlight some of the commonalities and differences across STEM schools and share in depth a data visualization tool they have created to represent the "critical components" of STEM schools.
