STEM Leadership Alliance

The STEM Leadership Alliance (SLA) is a collaboration of the major STEM organizations, education leaders and experts, colleges/universities, businesses, non-profits, and foundations. The STEM Leadership Alliance aims to disrupt and revolutionize STEM education through integration.

​

SLA is committed to bridging the gap between education and industry through advancing STEM experiences for both educators and students to address the business needs of the future.  As a result of these targeted efforts, the Alliance will collectively foster STEM integration in education that prepares preK-12 and post-secondary students with the critical skills needed to compete in a changing global economy. 

 

Too often, school systems across the country teach STEM subjects in silos. As a result, math and science are not coordinated with technology and engineering engagement activities and learning, and STEM is not integrated across subject areas.  SLA seeks to change this in a profound way.  Leveraging proven research and best practices, SLA will implement a disruptive model for STEM integration across the country.  SLA will support educators through professional development, assessing existing structures, and working with districts to build leadership capacity to connect integrated STEM to the needs of the current and future workforce.  By revolutionizing and supporting the way that integrated STEM is taught, the Alliance will advance its agenda of access and equity to prepare all students for success in the future.
