Trenton, NJ — Innovation New Jersey received the following communication on August 25 from the STEM Education Coalition:
To All STEM Education Stakeholders,
This is a reminder that we need your help!
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority, has established new funding streams that states and districts can employ to support informal, out of school, and summer education programs.
Afterschool and summer learning programs have enthusiastically embraced STEM programming and research has demonstrated that high-quality out-of-school STEM learning programs are strong contributors to improving learning and engagement in STEM fields.
The Coalition is still asking STEM stakeholders and interested organizations to join onto a sign-on letter that calls for state policymakers to utilize the new state and district-level decision making power to employ afterschool, informal, and summer learning programs as an integral part of efforts to improve STEM education for all students.
