Congress reaffirms its support, as expressed in the America COMPETES Act ( Public Law 110–69 ; 121 Stat. 572) and the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 ( Public Law 111–358 ; 124 Stat. 3982), for developing, implementing, and replicating programs at institutions of higher education to recruit and prepare STEM educators. The purpose of this section is to further encourage the development, implementation, and adoption of projects to recruit, prepare, and provide for the training and professional development of STEM educators.
The projects may be established, administered, or conducted in cooperation with institutions of higher education, public, nonprofit, or professional groups, and Federal, State, or local entities involved in education. The Director shall provide grants to fund projects, including workshops, in order to provide teacher training and professional development for current and potential K–12 STEM educators. In carrying out this section, the Director shall focus on— synthesizing the results of the Foundation's efforts in the training and professional development of STEM educators; disseminating evidence-based content, pedagogy, tools, and best practices, as supported by Foundation-sponsored education research, in areas including active STEM education; assisting teachers in integrating evidence-based content, pedagogy, tools, and best practices into student instruction; and increasing teacher comfort with teaching scientific concepts and engineering practices, as well as with inquiry-based learning methods.
The Director, through collaboration with the National Science and Technology Council Committee on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Education, shall ensure that Federal support for teacher training and professional development activities under this section are coordinated across Federal science agencies and jointly supported, as appropriate. Funded workshops and teacher training activities may occur in collaboration with industry, professional associations, nonprofit organizations, and institutions of higher education, including community colleges.
Potential collaborations may include— professional development activities that facilitate teacher access to academic, government, and industry STEM professionals; establishing or expanding projects designed to recruit and train STEM educators; and industry, organization, or State or local agency co-funding for teacher professional development activities. The Director shall include, in the Foundation annual budget report to Congress, a summary of teacher training projects funded by the Foundation during the previous fiscal year and the needs addressed by each funded project.
