Watch this one-hour workshop to hear how community colleges can respond to the increased student enrollment in introductory statistics courses by integrating modern data science using CourseKata–a free online interactive textbook and in-class lessons.

To explore the reasons students leave Calculus sequences and STEM majors, and shed light on strategies for addressing those barriers, the California Education Learning Lab partnered with Just Equations to synthesize existing research and knowledge from California and beyond.

Using first-term course enrollments to identify students who intend to earn restricted majors, this study finds that major restrictions disproportionately lead URM students from their intended major toward less-lucrative fields, driving within-institution ethnic stratification and likely exacerbating labor market disparities.

This paper examines methods of actively engaging students in online university-level STEM courses. It describes a variety of synchronous and asynchronous engagement strategies, cites research supporting their effectiveness, and offers suggestions for maximizing the effectiveness of active engagement regardless of which strategies are adopted to achieve it.

This article investigates the impact of a social-belonging intervention on anticipated changes in belonging, STEM GPA, and proportion of STEM credits obtained in English as a second language (ESL) students’ first semester and first year of college. Results revealed that the intervention increased ESL students’ anticipated sense of belonging and three of the four academic outcomes.

This report covers trends in and the relative global position of the U.S. S&E enterprise, including education, workforce, R&D, industry output, and innovation.

In this Fast Company article, Pearson’s Milena Marinova explains the calculus barrier to entry-level STEM jobs and the AI solution that could change the game.

U.S. Business leaders cannot find the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent they need to stay competitive. Students’ lagging performance in K–12 is a critical reason why. Years of hard work have improved K-12 student performance in math and science, but not fast enough. Programs in STEMworks, CTEq’s honor roll of STEM education programs that have proven their effectiveness, have the potential to address these and other challenges in states across the country.
