Title:Meeting the STEM workforce demand: Accelerating math learning among students interested in STEM
Source:http://www.bhef.com/publications/documents/BHEF...
Date:2011
Organization:Business Higher Education Forum (BHEF)
Short Description:Efforts by federal and state governments to increase the STEM workforce in support of innovation and competitiveness are frustrated by a shortage of adequately prepared and interested students. Less than half of 12th graders meet the math proficiency benchmark that indicates college readiness. Further, only 17 percent of 12th graders are math proficient and interested in STEM careers.
Annotation:Efforts by federal and state governments to increase the STEM workforce in support of innovation and competitiveness are frustrated by a shortage of adequately prepared and interested students. Less than half of 12th graders meet the math proficiency benchmark that indicates college readiness. Further, only 17 percent of 12th graders are math proficient and interested in STEM careers. African American, Hispanic, and Native American students are substantially underrepresented within this group, with less than 6 percent of all African American 12th graders interested in STEM careers and college ready in math. Notably, the group of students interested in a STEM career but not math proficient is nearly as large as the proficient and interested group (see Figure 1 on reverse). These students represent an untapped pool of talent that might be marshaled to address our country’s workforce needs. In particular, over half of the students in this group are within 4 points of the math benchmark score that would allow them to enter college-level STEM coursework without requiring remediation. This migration into STEM education could have a significant impact on diversity (see Figure 2 on reverse).
