Vision 2015: Workforce Development Report
The March 28, 2012 forum was the third in a series of events as NCNSP reached out across the state and nation for input and recommendations to help it build its strategic plan, Vision 2015: Scaling Excellence in Public Education. NCNSP's mission is to accelerate systemic, sustainable innovation in secondary schools across the state, with the vision that every student in North Carolina graduates ready for college, careers and life. Following this and other input sessions, NCNSP's Board will finalize its three-year strategic plan, which will begin on July 1, 2012.
Throughout the forum, the message resonating throughout is that the future of both our country's security and our country's economy is linked to better student and teacher achievement. This message is underscored by a report that was released by the Council on Foreign Relations just one week earlier. That report, entitled U.S. Education Reform and National Security, warned that "Educational failure puts the United States' future economic prosperity, global position, and physical safety at risk."14 MAY 2012

STEM Education in North Carolina
A globally competitive, knowledge-based economy is a fact of life for North Carolina's high school students-now and for the foreseeable future-and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are critical drivers in that economy. To reduce a potentially crippling
workforce knowledge gap and to prepare more students-especially those who traditionally have been underrepresented - for STEM careers, North Carolina must make these disciplines accessible and relevant and fundamentally change approaches to teaching.
This document outlines NCNSP's vision for STEM education, shares results at NCNSP STEM schools and offers a look at scaling STEM education statewide.26 JUL 2011
