National Education Trends
GovernmentFederal and State
Business and Industry Public and Private Sectors
Education
• NCLB
• Recognition of STEM importance
• But focused on “M” and “S”
• Need to increase focus on “T” and “E”
• Hiring is up: critical shortage of skilled IT talent
• STEM provides critical knowledge and skills
• Technical skills alone not enough
• Education, work experience, certification, business acumen, soft skills
• Decline in U.S. in engineering and computer science enrollment
• Focus on small learning communities
• Focus on STEM, career clusters, CTE
• Place of IT in education
• Educational pathways –pipeline from high school to postsecondary
