TIES, Teaching Institute for Excellence in STEM education is the country’s foremost innovator bringing STEM School design, STEM curriculum, and STEM instructional support to schools, districts, states and the federal government. TIES design teams work to create and build the finest STEM schools throughout the country. TIES recognizes the importance of school design and STEM professional development for all teachers as the basis to improve and advance the character of science, technology, engineering and mathematics teaching for students regardless of grade level. TIES understands the need to shift the teaching of STEM education to focus less on fragmented and isolated bits of discrete information and more on scientific understanding and reasoning. STEM education is trans-disciplinary in nature offering students the ability to use project-based learning to address real-world issues that affect their family, their community and their world. TIES works with regional and state economic development organizations to fuel STEM education curriculum and instructional program development for the benefit of all. Our students are digital natives and TIES works to ensure that the “Technology and Engineering” in STEM drive the relevance of the “Science and Mathematics.”

A comparison of the Federal Strategic STEM Plans by Jeff Weld, Senior Policy Advisor to the STEM Education Coalition.
Weld compiled this comparison document to help inform America’s STEM education community about continuity and discontinuance in the federal STEM education strategy moving forward.
STEM Learning Ecosystems
In 2018, STEM Learning Ecosystems were named as a key pathway for STEM success by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
With the 2018 Federal Strategic STEM Plan laying the groundwork, the 2024 Strategic Plan continues to list Ecosystem development as one of three important principles for Advancing STEM Education and Cultivating STEM Talent. See more about the roadmap for national STEM success - from where we've been to where we are going.

One of the core value-adds of the SOA coalition is the ability to communicate and translate priorities and opportunities across sectors, stakeholders, and silos, and maintain a sustained and coordinated vision for our shared work, over time. SOA remains committed to achieving the goals within our 25 year, forward looking National Strategy for equity and excellence in STEMM, and stands ready to support all SOA community members during what may be challenging years ahead for our community. The goals and values of the SOA coalition remain just as important – if not more – in light of the current and expected policy landscape. Together, we will sustain progress toward our common mission of adding 20 million, new, diverse STEMM experts to the US economy by 2050.
The policy focused webinar will feature policy experts who will lay a foundation of facts and stakeholders who will offer a range of perspectives on education, research and development, and workforce priorities over the coming years.

Keeping Access at the Center of the Discussion on Artificial Intelligence:
“When I think about my journey from being a classroom teacher to a school leader to working in the government to leading work in my hometown, it's always been about one thing: ensuring all learners are ready for the future, making sure they have agency and are prepared to leverage their voices and become the rightful leaders of their communities, their cities, their states in this country. I believe with every fiber of my being that access is the lever for this work.” - Tiffany Taylor, opening to the panel discussion about artificial intelligence with access at the center of the discussion.

The convening has wrapped but the work continues!!
Thank you to the TIES Teaching Institute for Excellence in STEM team for inviting me to represent the ASU+GSV Summit & THE AI SHOW @ ASU+GSV at the 2024 SLECoP Convening and AI Summit!
🌟 The energy at this year’s convening was inspiring and I was thrilled to moderate two dynamic panels...
"Vanguards of Accessible Innovation" was a chance to dive into how we can harness emerging technologies to create accessible futures for all learners. I was honored to share the stage with Jagadeesh Pamulapati (U.S. Department of Defense), Alex Boakye (SAS), and Carolyne Quintana (Leadership Consultant & Strategic Advisor).
"Access & Action: Empowering Communities with AI & Emerging Technology", was equally powerful as we explored how AI can expand equitable access to STEM education and opportunities. So grateful to have been in community with Carolyne Quintana, Dr. Shokry Eldaly (Columbia University), and Stacie Chana, Ed.D (TechEd Maven Consulting).
Feeling inspired by the incredible work happening across this community and energized to keep pushing forward! Thank you to everyone committed to building a more inclusive and innovative future. 💡💫
