Description

The term "STEM education" refers to teaching and learning in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

It typically includes educational activities across all grade levels- from pre-school to post-doctorate-in both formal (e.g., classrooms) and informal (e.g., afterschool programs) settings.

Federal policymakers have an active and enduring interest in STEM education and the topic is frequently raised in federal science, education, workforce, national security, and immigration policy debates.

This book is intended to serve as a primer for outlining existing STEM education policy issues and programs.

It includes assessments of the federal STEM education effort and the condition of STEM education in the United States, as well as an analysis of several of the policy issues central to the contemporary federal conversation about STEM education.
