Common Sense is Not Common, by Richard Dreyfuss  1 hour
06/20/13, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Series at UC San Diego.
Actor and activist Richard Dreyfuss presents the Dreyfuss Initiative (the “Fourth Branch”), a national campaign to improve how civics are taught in schools so that American children will understand democracy before they are called upon to run the country.  Comment by Walt Reil:  In today’s world, this discussion powerfully applies to STEM education and the STEM industry because STEM must be understood and supported by the people of our nation and our nation’s form of government, requiring that governmental leaders from small communities to Washington D.C. have a robust education in how to do their job, including, and requiring, that they have STEM savvy and deep respect for the highly educated, trained and accomplished providers of STEM information that supports as well as challenges our nation’s future operations.

The California STEM Learning Network (CSLNet) released a new research paper calling for significant changes in how teachers are taught in order to meet the demands of the new Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards.  The report, released  on June 19th at the U.S. News STEM Solutions Summit in Austin, Texas, recommends engaging future teachers in clinical practice similar to a medical residency model early in their studies, as a key component of a transformed teacher preparation system.

The Hidden STEM Economy .
Brookings Institution
Workers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields play a direct role in driving economic growth. Yet, because of how the STEM economy has been defined, policymakers have mainly focused on supporting workers with at least a bachelor’s (BA) degree, overlooking a strong potential workforce of those with less education but substantial STEM skills.  An analysis of the occupational requirements for STEM knowledge finds that:
– As of 2011, 26 million U.S. jobs—20 percent of all jobs—require a high level of knowledge in any one STEM field.
– Half of all STEM jobs are available to workers without a four-year college degree, and these jobs pay $53,000 on average—a wage 10 percent higher than jobs with similar educational requirements.
– STEM jobs that require at least a bachelor’s degree are highly clustered in certain metropolitan areas, while sub-bachelor’s STEM jobs are prevalent in every large metropolitan area.

Out of Sync: Many Common Core States Have Yet to Define a Common Core-Worthy Diploma .
Change The Equation and National School Boards Association’s (NSBA) Center for Public Education (CPE)
Forty-five states and the District of Columbia have voluntarily adopted rigorous Common Core State Standards for what their K-12 public school students should know and be able to do in mathematics and English Language Arts. Yet most of these states have yet to take a critical step towards making those standards a reality: they do not require high school graduates to complete the math classes that typically cover the content described in the new standards.1 Until states and districts re-examine their graduation policies, a high school diploma will not necessarily signify college- and career-readiness as envisioned by Common Core.

VC Firm Study: High-Skilled STEM Talent Shortage in U.S. is Real .
ZDNet, May 29th
There is a highly contested debate in the technology industry as to whether or not the United States is actually experiencing a significant shortage of highly-skilled employees, from software developers to engineers.  A new study from the Silicon Valley venture capital group Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers suggests that is still the case.  Specifically, the 2013 Internet Trends report from the venerable firm argues that the U.S. does lack enough talent with “STEM” degrees, or backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.  The study goes further to say that immigrants to the United States are often the ones filling the gaps, making them “especially important to the vibrancy of tech companies.”

What Does It Really Mean to be College and Work Ready? .
The National Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE) released a study that has been underway for almost three years.  There has been a lot of talk in recent years about getting high school students ready for college and work.  But what does that really mean?  NCEE decided to find out, to see what skills in mathematics, reading and writing were actually required to be successful in the first year of community colleges.  Why community colleges?  Because about half of the high school graduates who go to college go to these institutions and because, of those who do, close to half go into programs designed to prepare them for careers and the other half goes into a program designed to enable them to transfer to four year colleges after two years.  A College Board study shows that students who successfully complete the first year of community college are likely to complete a community college program with a two-year degree or certificate.  So we can reasonably say that, if you have the skills needed to succeed in the first year of a community college program, you have left high school ready for college and career ……….

This was the first-ever national conference devoted solely to the dangerous long-term decline America is experiencing in the interest in, education in, understanding of, and use of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in our nation.  Over 1,000 participants came from education, business and STEM education-related non-profit organizations around the U.S. to discuss the current understanding of the status of America’s current and future workforce, students and business and governmental leadership needs.  The ultimate goal of this inaugural event was to identify, develop and implement plans to provide solutions.

The Condition of Education 2012
Report: More Students Taking Science, Math  Bloomberg Business Week, 05/24/2012
More high school students are enrolling in math and science classes and seeking online learning opportunities.  The annual “Condition of Education” report said there has been a marked increase over the last two decades in the percent of high school graduates who had taken calculus, from 7 percent in 1990 to 16 percent in 2009.  Overall, the percentage enrolling in math and science courses increased in all subjects except algebra I, a class  many students now take in middle school.  Yet while more are enrolling, the report also states that scores have largely stagnated: Seventeen-year-old students performed neither significantly better nor worse on a national math and reading assessment than they did in the early 1970s. Results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress test in science found just 1 percent of high school seniors scored at the highest achievement level in 2009.
