|"Highly Abstract" Math Curriculum Taught on High Schools Not Preparing Students for Real World Sol Garfunkel and Mumford, New York Time, Summary by |
|ACTE |
|Mathematicians Garfunkel and Mumford write that there is an assumption that there is a single established body of mathematical skills that everyone |
|needs to know to be prepared for 21st-century careers. This assumption is wrong. The truth is that different sets of math skills are useful for |
|different careers. What we need is quantitative literacy, the ability to make quantitative connections whenever life requires and mathematical |
|modeling, the ability to move practically between everyday problems and mathematical formulations. Read More |

|At This Girls' Camp, Crafts Take a Drill Press Mokoto Rich, New York Times |
|Forget tie-dyed shirts, lanyards and water games. At summer camp this year, Nautika Kotero, 13, learned to use a drill press, solder electrical |
|wires and build a lamp. Read More |

|Program Between Maryland Schools, Businesses Offers Internships to Math, Science Students Allison Bourg, The Daily Journal |
|Professional researcher Andrew Murphy can hardly contain himself when talking about the team of employees he has working for him this summer. He |
|launched into a vivid description of the research his group is doing - on variable star astronomy - which he hopes will land Keystone in a |
|prestigious scientific journal. "I'm treating them like a research team of grad students," Murphy said. But researchers Branden Gritz, Alexander |
|Perepechko and Javan Graham will all be seniors at North County High School. Read More |

|Teachers' Externships Show Real-world Use of Classwork Kirsten Jacobsen, Des Moines Register |
|"Real World Externships" have allowed more than 80 STEM teachers in Iowa to spend six weeks seeing firsthand how the information they present to |
|students can be used outside the classroom. Read More |

|Parity in STEM Fields at CCs and Happy Women Faculty Insider Higher Ed |
|NSF is supporting a research project to focus more attention on STEM faculty at community colleges, where men and women are about 50-50 in faculty |
|positions over all, and where women make up 47.7 percent of STEM faculty (compared to about one third at four-year institutions). The researchers' |
|major conclusion is that women in STEM faculty positions at community colleges are happy. Learn More |

|Engineers Find Soft Skills Hard L.M. Sixel, Houston Chronicle |
|Universities across the country are giving their engineering and science students extra help navigating the soft skills that may come more naturally|
|to liberal arts students. In some schools, the communication and leadership training is woven into the traditional curriculum; in others, faculty |
|and staff reinforce the skills informally through career seminars. Read More |

|Women in STEM: A Gender Gap to Innovation US Department of Commerce |
|Women are vastly underrepresented in STEM jobs and among STEM degree holders despite making up nearly half of the U.S. workforce and half of the |
|college-educated workforce. That leaves an untapped opportunity to expand STEM employment in the United States, even as there is wide agreement that|
|the nation must do more to improve its competitiveness. Read Report |

|Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation: America's Science and Technology Talent at the Crossroads, National Academy of Engineering |
|This report analyzes the rate of change and the challenges the nation currently faces in developing a strong and diverse workforce and suggests that|
|the federal government, industry, and post-secondary institutions work collaboratively with K-12 schools and school systems to increase minority |
|access to and demand for post-secondary STEM education and technical training. The book also identifies best practices and offers a comprehensive |
|road map for increasing involvement of underrepresented minorities and improving the quality of their education. Read Report |

|Symposium: Unraveling the Double Bind: Women of Color in STEM Harvard Educational Review |
|This work surveys research on undergraduate and graduate-level women of color in STEM fields and assesses the experience of community college |
|transfers and undergraduates in those fields. Learn More |

|Do Internalized Feminine Norms Depress Girls' STEM Attitudes and Perceptions True Child |
|What could be causing elementary school girls who excel at math and who love science, to suddenly lose all interest or develop low grades in these |
|subjects in late adolescence and early teens? One important and under-explored answer is feminine gender norms. As girls age, they internalize |
|gender norms that force them to make a choice between excelling at STEM or being feminine. This report documents the existing literature, surveys |
|the problem in depth, and offers some intriguing new results from focus groups with young women of color. Learn More |
