Schools are having a hard time finding and keeping good STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) teachers. The pay isn’t great, and other jobs in STEM fields offer better pay. To help, we at STEM NOLA and STEM Global Action are doing amazing work by getting students excited about STEM careers through fun activities and hands-on learning. Schools are trying new ways to fill the gaps, like sharing teachers between schools and working with local businesses. For example, five Texas schools are teaming up to offer cool STEM classes. With support from businesses and universities, schools hope to get more students interested in STEM and have better teachers. Check out this article in Government Technology to learn more about how schools and partners are working together to solve the STEM teacher shortage! #SchoolsBadlyNeedSTEMTeachers #STEMeducation #YouBelongInSTEM https://lnkd.in/gHhd9ebk

In her article for Education Week, Arianna Prothero highlights the growing demand for high school students to be exposed to STEM fields like cybersecurity, green energy, and artificial intelligence. However, schools face significant challenges in recruiting and retaining teachers for these subjects due to low pay, lack of appreciation, and political controversies. The shortage is exacerbated by the fact that many potential STEM teachers are lured into higher-paying industry jobs instead. To address this issue, Prothero suggests that schools and districts should get creative by partnering with local businesses, universities, and other districts to share resources and expertise. Initiatives like The Rural Schools Innovation Zone, which pools resources among districts to offer specialized courses, and efforts to involve industry professionals in teaching and mentoring, can help bridge the gap. Despite the challenges, Prothero emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts from schools, government, and industry to prepare students for future careers in STEM. #STEMeducation #TeacherShortage #EducationReform #Cybersecurity #GreenEnergy #AI #Partnerships #TeacherRetention #YouBelongInSTEM https://lnkd.in/g5H2zXHu
