Core Beliefs

We believe that...

1. STEM education is centered on students’ thinking about and engagement with the natural, material, and built world.

2. STEM education that integrates English enriches students’ capacity for understanding and communicating about their experiences with the natural, material, and built world.

3. STEM education should provide all students with rigorous and meaningful learning opportunities that are attentive to their existing and developing identities.

4. STEM education can be a pathway to educational equity and a means for young people to define their own futures and be a force for good.

5. Teaching has a powerful impact on student learning, and effective teaching practice can push all students toward continual growth in the STEM disciplines.

6. High-quality teachers understand their context deeply, pursue continuous professional growth, and exercise leadership outside of the classroom in order to catalyze systemic impacts for students.

7. The application of research evidence and the wisdom of practice are both central to improving the field of education for all students.
