The report Equity in K-12 STEM Education: Framing Decisions for the Future by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine's Board on Science Education is now available to read for free online.
Equity in K-12 STEM Education approaches equity in STEM education as an ongoing process that requires intentional decision-making and action toward addressing and disrupting inequities and envisioning a more just future. Stakeholders at all levels of the education system—including state, district, and school leaders and classroom teachers—have roles as decision-makers who can advance equity. The report (read for free online) provides five equity frames as a guide to help articulate goals for equity and make decisions about policy and practice.
