Standing Committee

Board on Science Education

The Board on Science Education investigates how science is learned and can effectively be taught from early childhood to adulthood, in both schools and informal settings.

Established in 2004, BOSE reports have influenced federal legislation, provided guidance to federal agencies involved in STEM education, and shaped RFPs from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Education. Through the board's particular attention to broad dissemination and stakeholder engagement, its reports have had considerable influence on professional communities in K-12 formal education and informal science settings.

The board's core work is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
