Janice Earle told us about the National Science Foundation (NSF), a federal agency founded in 1950 which supports research and education of science, technology, engineering and mathematics by providing grants. Science, in all its disciplines, is the endless frontier that affects vitally our jobs, health and national security. Hence, NSF has established programs such as Discovery Research K-12, Research/Evaluation on education in science and engineering, innovative technology experiences for students and teachers or informal education. We’ve learned that US curriculum’s are repetitive and less challenging than high achieving nations, US teachers are becoming weaker in mathematics, young children can learn more complex and abstract ideas if properly scaffolded, teacher shortage is caused by an early exit due to poor conditions such as lack of autonomy, many tests do not measure much of what really matters in learning, etc.
