Coalition Provides Recommendations to Congress on Education Sciences Reform Act (ESRA)

On Wednesday, April 19, the STEM Education provided recommendations to the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee on priorities in the Education Science Reform Act reauthorization process.

“A key aspect of elevating the STEM subjects as a national priority is developing a better
understanding about which students, teachers, schools and communities have access and
opportunity to have high-quality STEM learning opportunities, both in and outside their
classrooms. The Institute for Education Sciences (IES) at the Department of Education can play

level have greater insights into how best to employ their limited resources to benefit the
greatest number of students in STEM subjects and experiences,” the letter states.
