Brookings: Supporting and Expanding the K-12 STEM Teacher Pipeline

Brookings is hosting a webinar on Supporting and Expanding the K-12 STEM Teacher Pipeline on Thursday, May 8^th, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

In the wake of the pandemic, the supply of teachers into U.S. schools has emerged as a critical vulnerability, hampering schools’ ability to offer quality instruction and support learning recovery efforts. K-12 teaching positions in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM subjects) continue to account for a disproportionate share of hard-to-staff positions, with national trendlines showing a quickly shrinking supply of newly certified teacher candidates in these fields over the past decade. The weak supply of teachers coincides with high expected growth in STEM fields and increasing demand for more STEM instruction to prepare students for 21st century occupations. On May 8^th, join the Brown Center on Education Policyat Brookings for a webinar to discuss how leaders can navigate the competing pressures on the STEM teacher pipeline.
