The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) prepared this September 2010 report to provide a two-pronged strategy for improving K-12 STEM education: prepare and inspire the next generation of students. Its recommendations fall under five overarching priorities: (1) improve Federal coordination and leadership on STEM education; (2) support the state-led movement to ensure that the Nation adopts a common baseline for what students learn in STEM; (3) cultivate, recruit, and reward STEM teachers that prepare and inspire students; (4) create STEM-related experiences that excite and interest students of all backgrounds; and (5) support states and school districts in their efforts to transform schools into vibrant STEM learning environments. The report can be accessed here.
