Dear Colleagues,
We received many qualified applicants for the 2018-19 CADRE Fellows program and will announce acceptances in our October newsletter. Thank you to applicants and nominating awardees!
For those interested in STEM education policy, the White House convened stakeholders this summer to help inform the development of the 2018-2023 strategic plan for implementing STEM Education across the United States. Read the Summary of The 2018 White House State Federal STEM Education Summit. Key takeaways include:
- forging stronger connections for students between education and work
- focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship
- integrating Computer Science principles across the educational experience
- improving access of STEM programs for all Americans
As a reminder, if your project has new resources, a new website, or other news to share, please let us know at cadre@edc.org.
