Resource | STEM-focused High Schools as a Strategy for Enhancing Readiness for Postsecondary STEM Programs
The logic underlying inclusive STEM high schools (ISHSs) posits that requiring all students to take advanced college preparatory STEM courses while providing student-centered, reform-oriented instruction, ample student supports, and real-world STEM experiences and role models will prepare and inspire students admitted on the basis of STEM interest rather than prior achievement for postsecondary...

Resource | Expanding STEM Opportunities Through Inclusive STEM Focused High Schools
Inclusive STEM high schools (ISHSs) (where STEM is science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) admit students on the basis of interest rather than competitive examination. This study examines the central assumption behind these schools—that they provide students from subgroups underrepresented in STEM with experiences that equip them academically and attitudinally to enter and stay in the...

Resource | Broadening Participation in STEM College Majors: Effects of Attending a STEM-focused High School
To increase participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) studies and careers, some states have promoted inclusive STEM high schools. This study addressed the question of whether these high schools improve the odds that their graduates will pursue a STEM major in college. State higher education records were obtained for students surveyed as seniors in 23 inclusive STEM...

Dear Colleagues, This month we are featuring DRK-12 projects with a focus on STEM pathways. Though there may not be consensus of what constitutes a STEM job, we might all agree that educational experiences are a critical factor in providing access to and removing roadblocks from the pursuit of STEM careers (including the skilled technical workforce) or the use of STEM skills in other occupations...

Resource | The Role of Teacher Framing in Producing Coherent NGSS-Aligned Teaching
We report on one teachers’ efforts to re-design an entire instructional unit as a coherent storyline about forces and motion as a part of a multiyear professional development (PD) project around the NGSS. Designing coherent storylines demands that teachers create opportunities for students to meaningfully engage in science practices in order to develop their knowledge over time. We found that...
