  2. About The National Science Board Establishes the policies of the National Science Foundation Serves as an advisor to the President and Congress on science and engineering policy issues Submits a biennial report to Congress and the President on indicators of the state of U.S. science and engineering www.nsf.gov/nsb/sei/

  3. A National Action Plan for the STEM Education System • Requested by Congress • Board Used Statutory Authority to Appoint a Commission and Hold Hearings Around the Country • Recommendations • Vertical Alignment from Pre-K through to Higher Education • Horizontal Coordination with National STEM Content Guidelines • Well-Qualified and Highly-Effective STEM Teachers Congressman Honda, Congressman Ehlers, Senator Obama, and Senator Lieberman, among others, each introduced legislation to implement some of the Board’s recommendations

  4. National Council for STEM Education • Horizontal Coordination, Across Stakeholders • -National STEM Content Guidelines • -Student Assessments Aligned with National Content • -Share and Disseminate Best Practices

  5. Strong linkage between high school and • higher education and/or the workforce • STEM education-focused P-16 councils in each state Vertical Alignment

  6. STEM Teachers • Ensure students are taught by well-qualified and highly effective STEM teachers: • Compensate STEM teachers at market rates • Provide resources for the preparation of future STEM teachers • Increase STEM teacher mobility between districts: national STEM teacher certification standards • Provide strong STEM teacher preparation NSF Noyce Scholars assist teachers in high-need schools

  7. NSB Letter to President-Elect Obama Actions to Improve Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education for all American Students

  8. Science and Engineering Indicators 2010 Long term NSF responsibility for statistical data established in the 1950 NSF Act 19th of the biennial series required by statute since 1972 Authoritative international source Factual, policy neutral, and high quality

  9. Key Science and Engineering Indicators 2010 Digest • The second issue of this publication • Presents 31 indicators on six selected topics • Like Indicators 2010, is policy neutral • Draws attention to important trends and data in Indicators • Web version provides a wider range of tools for data access, presentation, and analysis
