  • NC STEM Education Strategic Plan

    North Carolina is poised to lead the nation with vibrant STEM-based education and economic systems. It is time for North Carolina to connect the many "islands of excellence" across the state into a bright future for all its citizens and communities. To build and maintain the world-class workforce needed to ensure economic prosperity in a global market, North Carolina must focus on the following three priorities and measure our progress against these strategies:

    - Priority 1: Increasing our student, educator and institutional STEM Achievement
    - Priority 2: Gaining and sustaining broader community understanding and support for education innovations that support our economic needs
    - Priority 3: Connecting, leveraging & increasing STEM Resources across public and private sectors to improve our citizens and their economic future

They give all students of all skill levels access to the complex information needed to meet state and college-ready standards. These instructional strategies succeed because they engage all students in learning and require them to take an active role in their education.
