Researchers and technology practitioners have identified a need to strengthen Native American perspectives in the development of computer science education pathways. In 2023, the Four Corners Computer Science Convening conference at Fort Lewis College in Colorado brought together educators and administrators to discuss computer science education and pedagogy in the Four Corners states of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah.
EvaluATE — which is based at The Evaluation Center at Western Michigan University — is the evaluation hub for the National Science Foundation’s Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program.
Diversity, equity and inclusion in STEM education and workforce development are critical for U.S. economic vitality. Yet women and people of color drop out of pathways to STEM degrees and professions at higher rates than their male white counterparts. A plethora of education-based projects are underway to address these discrepancies, and evaluation professionals have a key role in ensuring these approaches are integrated and measured appropriately.
Recent technological advances in artificial intelligence, alternative energies and other math and science-related fields are profoundly shifting society and creating new opportunities in STEM-focused research and careers.
The Stephen I. Katz Early Stage Investigator Research Project Grant supports an innovative project that represents a change in research direction for an early stage investigator (ESI) and for which no preliminary data exist. Applications submitted to this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) must not include preliminary data. Applications must include a separate attachment describing the change in research direction.
Our education system does not reliably deliver quality learning experiences for nearly enough people, and it systematically underdelivers for students of color and for students from low-income backgrounds. This challenge is exacerbated by teachers leaving the profession while others are choosing not to join the profession. Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College has been working with schools and other partners to expand an initiative called Next Education Workforce™.
Founded in 2002 by Manoj Saxena and his family, the Saxena Family Foundation is a private philanthropic organization committed to improving the quality of life of women, children and senior citizens in the communities in which we live. The foundation has particular focus on initiatives that promote U.S. STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and empowerment of girl child and young women so that they have equal rights later in life. We partner with a wide range of outside individuals and organizations through our programs.
Researchers have identified a persistent underrepresentation of students by race and gender in STEM fields. One way to address this issue is by offering professional development that integrates culturally relevant pedagogy, which can provide educators with increased content knowledge, confidence and awareness of learning styles. However, most professional development programs focused on STEM domains are more focused on knowledge acumen, rather than treating underlying issues such as racism, sexism, classism and ableism.
