Office of STEM Education Annual Report 2015-2016

During 2015-2016 the Office of STEM (OSTEM) Education at UNO has continued to move aggressively forward in undertaking and leading STEM Learning projects, many of which collaborate closely with several other UNO colleges and other formal and informal educational institutions. Also continuing into 2016, OSTEM is steadily transitioning to becoming more of a focused departmental organization, while the UNO STEM Leadership Team takes over more of the campus-wide STEM Priority efforts. This report describes the TED STEM successes, ongoing efforts and challenges this last year with a direct focus on the TED and COE context, and only lightly touches on the wider campus efforts. For reference on the wider campus STEM Priority efforts, there are other documents that can be reviewed as desired,such as journal articles that have been published related to various UNO STEM initiatives, and that are referenced in this report. The wider UNO STEM efforts have of course been led from a solid base of TED and COE support, and the campus continues to look to our leadership on numerous STEM initiatives. The wider support of Dr. Edwards, Dr. Edick, Dr. Barnes, Dr. Conway and other colleagues in TED and across campus have been critical to the overall UNO campus STEM successes to date, helping to move not only our TED STEM efforts ahead but also the campus STEM efforts

CURRENT TRENDS IN STEM EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE

The article reveals current trends in STEM education development in Ukraine, which have been determined on the basis of the analysis of scientific research and regulatory documents on STEM education development in Ukraine as well as practices of providing STEM education services in the domestic general secondary and out-of-school education institutions. These trends include improving normative-legal regulation of STEM education development in Ukraine; transferring STEM education to the primary and secondary schools; diversifying STEM services provision in the out-of-school education institutions; popularizing STEM education and STEM professions among pupils, students, their parents, teachers and other stakeholders; developing program-methodological support of STEM education.Key words: STEM education, STEM education services, STEM education development, general secondary education, out-of-school education, Ukraine

Preparing the Future Workforce: Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Policy in K12 Education in Wisconsin

Last December, the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education Coalition - a national organization of more than 600 groups representing knowledge workers, educators, scientists, engineers, and technicians wrote to President-elect Obama urging him to "not lose sight of the critical role that STEM education plays in enabling the United States to remain the economic and technological leader of the 21st century global marketplace." While that imperative appears to have resonated in Washington, has it and should it resonate in Madison? This report attempts to answer that question by examining the extent to which STEM skills are a necessity for tomorrow's Wisconsin workforce, whether our schools are preparing students to be STEM-savvy workers, and where STEM falls in the state's list of educational priorities
