This website was envisioned first with educators in mind. You play a critical role in helping the United States address the crisis in the supply of technically trained citizens. Our country's future economy and our national security are directly dependent on having enough students entering Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related career fields.
You also play a major role in recruiting and educating the math and science educators of tomorrow. As a math and science educator, you have a very challenging job and this website is intended to help you. Here you will find everything from helpful hints to major studies of best practices. You will be made aware of local opportunities to stay abreast of developments in your discipline as well as nationally sponsored events. The site editors will try to make the site as comprehensive as they can but that really depends upon you as an educator. The site is to help STEM educators to continue to educate each other as well as their students. As such the site will become a virtual community of practice. Therefore, we encourage you to use the site and to submit and share your experiences, observations, and knowledge as a STEM educator.
In our efforts to bring STEM web resources together, we came across an Education Weekly article that listed several web-based sources that share free lesson planning materials for all levels.
