NASEM Call for Nominations: PreK-12 STEM Education Innovations

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) is seeking experts to participate in the new consensus study on promising PreK-12 STEM education innovations in response to the Congressional mandate in the CHIPS and Science Act.

The study will (1) review the literature and identify research gaps regarding the factors that foster and hinder successful implementation of promising PreK-12 STEM innovations at all levels; (2) present evidence-based PreK-12 STEM education practices, models, programs, and technologies; (3) identify barriers to widespread and sustained implementation of innovations; and (4) make recommendations to relevant stakeholders on measures to address the identified barriers.

The National Academies is looking to build a committee of approximately 14 volunteer experts, in addition to collecting information for potential speakers, participants, and peer reviewers for any publications resulting from the activity, with expertise particularly in the following areas: Science Education, Mathematics Education, Engineering Education, Computer Science Education, Data Science Education, Early STEM Education, Learning Sciences, Educational Technology, Curriculum Development, Teacher Professional Development, Curriculum Implementation, Teacher Preparation, and Education Administration and Policy.

The National Academies is requesting submissions by May 31, 2023. To learn more about this project, visit the NASEM PreK-12 STEM Education Innovations website.
