About The National Science Board
1. Establishes the policies of the National Science Foundation
2. 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/
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
4
Congressman Honda, Congressman Ehlers, Senator Obama, and Senator Lieberman, among others, each introduced legislation to implement some of the Board’s recommendations
National Council for STEM Education
Horizontal Coordination, Across Stakeholders
-National STEM Content Guidelines
-Student Assessments Aligned with National Content
-Share and Disseminate Best Practices
Vertical Alignment
• Strong linkage between high school andhigher education and/or the workforce
• STEM education-focused P-16 councils in each state
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
