NC Magazine has reported that the US Chamber's Institute for a Competitive Workforce is supporting a new study that outlines what employers can do to improve the way science, technology, engineering and math are taught. STEM is a Cape Fear Future priority area.
The report, called “The Opportunity Equation: Transforming Mathematics and Science Education for Citizenship and the Global Economy” was conducted by the Carnegie-IAS Commission on Mathematics and Science Education. There are four general areas in which the report urges action:
1) Place mathematics and science at the center of education innovation, improvement and accountability to enable higher levels of learning.
2) Establish common standards and assessments for the nation in mathematics and science.
3) Improve math and science teaching, including new ways of recruiting teaching talent.
4) Redesign schools and systems to deliver excellent, equitable math and science learning.
