STEM Education Leadership Institute

Call for Action:

The Washington State LASER’s STEM Education Leadership Institute responds to the National Governors’ Associations challenge to increase STEM literacy in the United States by creating professional development programs for leadership teams that “bridge” the four areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

It also provides a roadmap with multiple routes by which K-12 schools in Washington can address the top recommendations of a 2010 report to Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire and the Washington State Legislature. The report, written by the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) STEM Work Group for STEM Education, made the following recommendations for the 2010-2020 decade.

• Improve teaching of STEM throughout K-12;
• Establish a deep and sustained commitment to STEM innovation throughout K-12; and
• Ensure strong community and business engagement for STEM education
