A very busy week for STEM and STEM education related news and information. For your review this lovely Friday afternoon:

Today (July 12, 2010) the National Research Council (NRC) Board on Science Education released a draft conceptual framework for new science education standards.

Reminder that our meeting is scheduled for Monday, July 20 at 10:30 a.m. at the American Chemical Society offices,.

Two very important items and reminders.

As you may have heard, the House did approve the FY2010 budget for the Department of Education late last month. Thanks to Rep Rush Holt an amendment to increase the Math and Science Partnership program funding by $5 million was included by Labor, HHS and Education Appropriations Chairman Obey in the final bill, and did pass the House.

Three items for your consideration today.

September has been a very busy month and we wanted to update you on a number of announcements, events, etc.

We wanted to send out a couple of additional information items and also to pass along an update on recent Presidential activities on STEM education from Tom Kalil, Deputy Director for Policy at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy – see email at bottom.
