The Maine STEM Council has developed “The Maine STEM Education and Workforce Plan 1.0.” The Council was established by the Legislature in 2011 to “develop strategies for enhancing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education from prekindergarten through postsecondary education.” The Council mandate also includes linking these STEM education strategies to those for workforce development in these fields.
The first version of a roadmap, a dynamic plan that is based on policy and practice research in education and labor that will recommend strategic directions for consideration by policymakers as they identify future investments in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (LD 1540), is now available here.
