STEM Education in the U.S.: Where We Are and What We Can Do
ACT, Inc.
ACT's annual Condition of STEM reports provide essential national data on student interest and achievement in STEM subjects. The latest report--"STEM Education in the U.S.: Where We Are and What We Can Do"--takes the data one step further by pairing the latest findings with promising practices aimed at improving STEM achievement and preparedness. These practices include examples from states, nonprofits, businesses, and other groups committed to closing STEM achievement and opportunity gaps. The report also challenges local, state, and national policymakers to meet, within the next four years, a number of actionable goals for improving the STEM pipeline.
