Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
NWRCC provides assistance to state education agencies (SEAs) in their efforts to meet the requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) (currently known as the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 [NCLB]). Under NCLB, states are expected to establish clear and high standards for what students in each grade should know and be able to do in mathematics, science, and technology. NCLB also requires that states annually assess mathematics achievement of all students in grades three through eight and once in high school. NWRCC provides support to state education agencies in working toward the goal of ensuring that all students are proficient by 2013-2014.

A Resource Guide Identifying Technology Tools for Schools This guide by The State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) and the National Association of State Title I Directors (NASTID) provides definitions of key technology components and relevant examples, where appropriate as a glossary for educators. The guide also presents essential implementation and infrastructure considerations that decision makers should think about when implementing technology in schools. Technology enhances administrative, teacher and student capabilities and performance, especially for those students who lack access to technology outside of school. |

Effective Science Instruction: What Does Research Tell Us? The Center on Instruction is disseminating a brief that distills the research on science learning to inform a common vision of science instruction and to describe the extent to which K–12 science education currently reflects this vision. A final section of this publication examines the implications of the findings for policymakers and science education practitioners and identifies possible actions. |

Leveraging Title I and Title IID Partnerships: Maximizing the Impact of Technology in Education The State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) and the National Association of State Title I Directors (NASTID) drafted this paper to spark local discussions on the coordinated uses of funds to implement technology in the classroom. State and local Title I and Title IID directors can work together to ensure that these ideas are systemically implemented and in line with the rules and requirements of each state and grant program. |

Preparing the Next Generation of STEM Innovators: Identifying and Developing Our Nation's Human Capital A recent report from the National Science Board contains a series of policy actions, a research agenda, and three key recommendations detailing how our nation might foster the identification and development of future STEM innovators. The report draws on the findings from an expert panel discussion held at the National Science Foundation (NSF) on August 23–25, 2009, and a two-year examination of the issue by the Board with the support of expert staff from the NSF Directorate for Education and Human Resources and the U.S. Department of Education. |
