National Center for STEM Education
@nationalstemed.bsky.social
The National Center for STEM Education is built on the conviction that strengthening STEM teaching is critical to expanding opportunities for students and building the nation’s long-term STEM capacity.
New research shows that AI Is already shaping how future STEM teachers learn, but how do we harness it responsibly? Center Director Kim Hughes outlines why we need a shared implementation framework. Read more: https://ow.ly/5hmt50ZFn89
AI Is Already Shaping How Future STEM Teachers Learn: We Need a Shared Framework
Artificial intelligence is no longer a future issue for teacher education. It is already part of the daily work of many faculty members preparing the next generation of science and mathematics teachers.

A STEM workforce shortage is coming: How can we stop it and what does it have to do with calculus? Dr. Michael Marder links it to a need for well-prepared STEM teachers produced by university-based certification programs. Read more: https://ow.ly/vriU50ZACLc
A STEM Workforce Shortage Is Coming and the Solution Is in Our Schools
We are hurtling toward new revolutions driven by artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum computing, and other advances. Will the U.S. find itself among those driving the scientific and technological revolutions? That is up to us. Our technology sectors have been growing exponentially, but we are no longer producing enough high-skill STEM workers to meet the need.
