September 2018 Newsletter

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.

Sincerely,
The CADRE Team


Considerations for STEM Education from PreK through Grade 3

The DRK-12 early learning topical group (co-chairs: Doug Clements and Julie Sarama) has produced a brief that draws on NSF-supported research and development to highlight important considerations about STEM educational experiences for young children and professional learning for educators who provide those experiences. Please share the brief with curriculum leads, principals, superintendents, and others throughout your education network.
