I was so grateful to be in the room with change agents, leaders, and innovators for the launch of the #STEMMforALL initiative. I was grateful to hear the stories shared and inspired to hear so many grappling with the science of belonging. Systemic change happens with intention and I am proud to say, the intention was felt! I was especially glad to hear the acknowledgment of the many intersections that exist within STEMM. It will take all of us collaborating to bring this vision to fruition. The learners of our country deserve our very best!
To achieve the systemic change needed to meet future workforce demands and to capitalize on the government's historic commitments to STEMM equity requires greater coordination, alignment, shared learning, & accountability than currently exists. The good news? The new $1.4 billion federal #STEMMForAll initiative, led by the STEMM Opportunity Alliance, has the power to work across sectors and geographies to facilitate national coordination and pursue #STEM/#STEMM equity on a BIG level! NAPE is at the launch of the initiative today. You can learn more too (and sign up to join) at http://ow.ly/qMrf50M13FO.
