In 2018, STEM Learning Ecosystems were named as a key pathway for STEM success by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. With the 2018 Federal Strategic STEM Plan laying the groundwork, the 2024 Strategic Plan continues to list Ecosystem development as one of three important principles for Advancing STEM Education and Cultivating STEM Talent.

Looking toward 2025, many of us are seeking insights into how to successfully navigate the upcoming presidential transitions. On December 17th, from 1:30 -3:00 pm ET - Join the STEMM Opportunity Alliance for an informational webinar “Federal Policy – Status for STEMM education, research, workforce, and innovation” https://lnkd.in/e4SZmT8t One of the core value-adds of the SOA coalition is the ability to communicate and translate priorities and opportunities across sectors, stakeholders, and silos, and maintain a sustained and coordinated vision for our shared work, over time. SOA remains committed to achieving the goals within our 25 year, forward looking National Strategy for equity and excellence in STEMM, and stands ready to support all SOA community members during what may be challenging years ahead for our community. The goals and values of the SOA coalition remain just as important – if not more – in light of the current and expected policy landscape. Together, we will sustain progress toward our common mission of adding 20 million, new, diverse STEMM experts to the US economy by 2050. The policy focused webinar will feature policy experts who will lay a foundation of facts and stakeholders who will offer a range of perspectives on education, research and development, and workforce priorities over the coming years.

Keeping Access at the Center of the Discussion on Artificial Intelligence: “When I think about my journey from being a classroom teacher to a school leader to working in the government to leading work in my hometown, it's always been about one thing: ensuring all learners are ready for the future, making sure they have agency and are prepared to leverage their voices and become the rightful leaders of their communities, their cities, their states in this country. I believe with every fiber of my being that access is the lever for this work.” - Tiffany Taylor, opening to the panel discussion about artificial intelligence with access at the center of the discussion. #STEM #Equity #AccessinAction
