About

The Board on Science Education at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is conducting a study on Equitable and Effective Teaching in Undergraduate STEM Education with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the National Science Foundation.

The study will develop an evidence-based framework for equitable and effective teaching in undergraduate STEM education and provide an analysis of policies and practices at the departmental, programmatic, and institutional levels that can facilitate implementation of the principles in the framework. The committee will consider different teaching contexts, modalities and types of institutions, as well as strategies and resources needed for implementation.

This project was designed to incorporate views from the many stakeholders who have an interest in equitable and effective undergraduate STEM teaching. The Committee encourages input from individuals from all types of institutions involved in undergraduate STEM education, including those that confer certificates and Associate’s degrees (e.g., community and technical colleges), and those that confer Bachelor’s degrees (e.g., research-intensive and regional comprehensive universities and primarily undergraduate institutions). The Committee also welcomes input from individuals who work with or at STEM professional societies, funders of STEM research and STEM education research, employers of STEM talent, K-12 educators and schools, and members of community organizations and the broader public.

The committee has posted a discussion draft on their project page to solicit public input on the principles proposed and to gather reactions that will inform their final report and its recommendations. Visitors to the site may choose to respond to a questionnaire to provide their views to the committee. The questionnaire will be open through December 20, 2023.

At their 5th meeting, the committee will review input on their discussion draft, hear from experts speakers, and make plans for their final report. These hybrid public sessions (in Washington, D.C., and online) will be held on December 5-6, 2023 to directly hear thoughts on the discussion draft from individuals and representatives of stakeholder groups. The events are open to the public, Registration details and an agenda will be posted on this page soon.

Formal or informal groups with an interest in equitable and effective STEM education may host their own virtual or in person sessions to review the discussion draft and prepare a written submission synthesizing the views of the group. Written submissions to the Committee must be no longer than 5 pages in length. They should be emailed to bose@nas.edu.
