Call to Action for Science Education

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine published a Call to Action for Science Education: Building Opportunity for the Future. The report outlined a vision for equitable access to quality science learning experiences across K-16 education while recognizing that many students, particularly students who live in poverty, Black, Latino/a, and Indigenous students, and students living in rural areas, have lacked access to high-quality science education across K-16 and have been shut out of many opportunities in STEM. This session will provide an overview of the Call and highlight the priority actions necessary for providing a better, more equitable science education for all students K-16.
