Envision Excellence in STEM Education
Project Title
For a project to design a Family Engagement Playbook
Date
Mar. 07, 2019
Duration
12 months
Description
Research reveals a lack of family involvement in the early years, especially with respect to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning, and few organizations serving families specifically support family engagement in STEM despite its importance. Envision Excellence in STEM Education proposes a design project to convene and compile field experts in Family Engagement from within their STEM Learning Ecosystems Community of Practice (SLECoP) to collaboratively research, design and launch a Family Engagement Playbook. With support from the Corporation, Envision Excellence will convene members to create a framework for the playbook based on research and best practices, kick-off the development and design phase, and disseminate the playbook for organizations in the field.

Description
In recent years, there has been increased attention to an important challenge in the U.S. – a growing need for STEM professionals in many careers. These careers provide relatively high and secure salaries and allow the U.S. to remain competitive with our global peers. But unless there is a new and better ways to engage young people, particularly girls and minorities, there will be a growing gap between supply and demand and a missed opportunity to afford students a rewarding education and career pathway. Philanthropy plays a vital role in stimulating new directions for STEM education and community engagement in identifying STEM pathways and opportunities. Since 2012, the STEM Funders Network (SFN) has provided an important link between foundations and corporations investing in STEM. SFN, a membership organization, is identifying key partners in government, education and industry to work together to address this important challenge and opportunity.
