To provide leadership and ensure the vitality of the Nation's science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education enterprise. The STEM Education component of the National Science Foundation sponsors programs that support the development of models and strategies for providing all students with access to high-quality STEM education, and research about those models and strategies. In addition, support is provided for scholarships and fellowships for STEM students. The portfolio of programs in STEM education comprises efforts spanning pre-K to 12, undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral levels, as well as informal education and life-long learning. Long-term goals include: supporting infrastructure and institutional capacity building that will enable development of high-quality educational experiences for all students; ensuring that our educational pathways yield an adequately educated and diverse corps of individuals for the highly technical workplace, the professional STEM community, and society; developing a cadre of professionally educated and well-trained teachers and faculty; and providing the research necessary to inform and improve educational practice. Many programs are conducted in partnership with NSF’s other directorates. Programs include research and development support for improving STEM learning and learning environments, including learning technologies, both in formal and informal learning settings; STEM workforce development, including the development of teachers; and broadening participation. Programs are subject to continuous improvements based on program reviews, evaluation, dissemination of best practices, and educational research.
