The National Science Foundation (NSF) will sponsor the first of a series of one-day regional workshops to promote dialogue about the 2011 National Resource Council report: Identifying Highly Successful Schools or Programs for K-12 STEM Education. Designed with plenaries, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities, this NSF-supported workshop will bring together educators from formal and informal education across all grade levels and higher education. Participants will also include STEM leaders, policy-makers, and representatives from business and funding communities.
