"Scientific literacy is the new demand of our post-industrial society," according to the Smithsonian Science Education Center. Talia Milgrom-Elcott quotes the SSEC as she discusses the 4 things you need to know about STEM education in 2020. They are: (1) teacher diversity--supporting students (especially of color) by recruiting and supporting teachers of color; (2) technology proficiency; (3) certifying teachers in computer science; and (4) making STEM education relevant by fueling student activism. To learn more about how SSEC is engaging teachers and students in each of these areas, see the links above.
