- Summary:
- For policy makers and education professionals, this volume outlines a practical path to improving science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education in America today. Noting that current trends in STEM education leave the nation on an uncompetitive footing in the world economy, the work provides a research based solution to problems in STEM education, including inequities based on socio-economic and racial factors and the de-valuing of teaching professionals. Drew is a professor of education at Claremont Graduate University. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
