Roundtable on Systemic Change in Undergraduate STEM Education
The Roundtable fosters ongoing discussion of the challenges to and strategies for improving undergraduate STEM education among federal officials, the business community, policy makers, educators, and academic scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. It uses foundational knowledge of the evidence base on pedagogy and systemic change in higher education to inform and advance reform efforts.
Areas of focus include supportive pathways to STEM learning and STEM careers, humanizing STEM education and making the STEM culture more inclusive, transition and transfer, professional learning and incentives for the instructional workforce, and the thoughtful use of data to inform educators and leaders of systemic change.
In progress
"We work to improve learning in STEM courses and programs at all types of postsecondary institutions, with strategies that can serve all learners."
