Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

The 2024 consensus report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Scaling and Sustaining Pre-K-12 STEM Education Innovations, examines the interconnected factors at local, regional, and national levels that foster or hinder the widespread implementation of promising, evidence-based Pre-K-12 STEM education innovations, identifies gaps in the research, and provides guidance on how to address barriers to implementation.

This report comes in response to a mandate within the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. This session will feature an overview of the report and recommendations from members of the committee that produced the consensus study, as well as discussion on future research directions based on the recommendations provided in the report.
