Project Focus “We will enhance traditional teaching to include critical thinking skills that are developed with STEM lessons and give teachers the tools and strategies they need to develop lessons to engage 21st Century learners.” • Feasibility: Training could take place from experts in the field for K-12 teachers • Sustainability: Teacher training could carry over into the classroom and, ultimately, entire schools • Accountability: Teachers took a survey to report their level of comfort with the topic of STEM

  5. Why STEM? Fostering quality STEM education in our schools will begin to meet the demands of the 21st Century by producing: · Scientists and engineers who will continue the research and innovation that is central to the economic growth of our country · Technology proficient workers who are capable of dealing with a science-based, high technology workforce · 21st Century literate voters and citizens who can make intelligent decisions about public policy and who understand the world around them (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math: Education for a Global Leadership, USDOE)
