34.051 - Improving Indicators of K–12 STEM Education Policy and Practice: What Have We Learned?

Fri, April 28, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: River Level, Room 7B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Policymakers stress the importance of STEM education to our economy, and currently a range of education initiatives are focusing on ways to improve curriculum, instruction, teacher development, and student assessment related to STEM education. But, key indicators to monitor the quality of STEM education are needed to track national, state and local policies and report critical information to improve instructional practices. The proposed symposium will focus on new research and development on STEM education indicators. This series of studies aims to define and test reliable indicators that build on existing data sources from local, state, and national collections.
