A Review of DR K–12 English Language Learner Projects and Their Contribution to Research
This session explores the role of funding programs in shaping research agendas. The springboard for discussion is a case study that investigated DR K–12 contribution to research in science and mathematics education for English language learners.
This session explores the role of funding programs in shaping research agendas through deliberate and targeted funding for priority areas. With the English language learner (ELL) population in U.S. schools on the rise and a growing demand for expansion and development of STEM education, intersecting research in these two fields represents an important effort to address pressing issues in U.S. schools and the STEM workforce.
Innovations in Early Childhood STEM Curricula and Professional Development
This poster symposium features six preschool projects across STEM domains that have developed curricula and provided teachers with supports for motivating all children’s engagement with STEM.
The collective work represented in this session responds to reports that the United States’ competitive advantage lies in its role as a technological innovation leader and to proposals that individual interest in innovation should be fostered early to avoid stereotypes and other impediments to entering the innovation pipeline.
