From ASM Materials Education Foundation

JOIN US! FREE STEM PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR TEACHERS   OUR PROGRAM ASM Materials Camp®-Teachers is a free, week-long, idea-generating workshop introducing teachers to methods that make math and core science principles more enticing and relevant to their middle and high school students. Materials topics are great motivators in any engineering, technology or science course as students learn concepts that are reflected in their everyday lives. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT Teachers leave our camps able to engage students using simple, low-cost experiments that integrate into existing lesson plans. Participants are eligible to receive four (4) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and can opt for two (2) graduate level credits. LOCATIONS Camps are offered across the Unites States, Canada and virtually. Click the link below to find a location near you!   Watch the video to learn more!       REGISTER TODAY   Questions?

Evidence Supporting CTE

 While many in STEM education continue to emphasize traditional Science and Math with some helpful PjBL, CTE demonstrates, with data,  the value of hands-on Technology, Engineering, Applied Science and Applied Math, and provides the pathways to graduation with certifications and dual enrollment credits.

Putting evidence on CTE to work

Feb. 27th, 2023

A growing research base sheds light on what kinds of career and technical education programs produce the most promising outcomes for students.

The expanded policy focus on career and technical education (CTE) at the local, state, and federal levels has brought many opportunities for innovation and growth. Labor market demand in health services and information technology (IT), as well as shortages of skilled tradespeople and increased employment in a variety of advanced manufacturing fields, has fueled the demand for change. In response, many states and local districts have worked to align their education program offerings with current and anticipated employment demands. The 2018 reauthorization of the federal Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act (now known as the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act, or Perkins V) supports these efforts by providing grants to states to support CTE programs. New Perkins requirements stipulate that program offerings must align with workforce requirements, emphasizing the need for education leaders to reassess and realign their program offerings.

Innovations in CTE policy have so far outstripped the pace of new research on the efficacy of these changes, but the research base is growing. Data from previous decades provided evidence that high school CTE programs appear to increase earnings in the decade after high school, especially for
