According to the Education Commission of the States (2020), U.S. STEM jobs will experience thirteen percent growth in the coming decade where all other job sectors combined will grow by nine percent. At issue is the need for a larger STEM-proficient workforce to strengthen our economy and make the United States more competitive internationally. Yet U.S. business leaders report difficulty finding available STEM-proficient workers (Education Commission of the States, 2020) . Although the United States has made recent strides in strengthening STEM education, students of color and girls still lag behind. To meet the growing demand for our 21st century workforce, Pre-K-12 educators in the United States must accelerate efforts to use STEM-leaning principles in their teaching. Bridging diversity and gender gaps also requires increased access for all students in the pursuit of education and careers in STEM fields.  \nSTEM education is a fundamental tool for improving people’s lives and strengthening their engagement in our complex and increasingly global society. A basic understanding of STEM principles allows students to think critically, understand the world around them, and become contributing, productive members of society. Schooling in general, and STEM education in particular, provides important learnin","cbCairoijrX2Okbp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairoijrX2Okbp","pdf",3070819,49,"English","# Introduction\n## Why STEM?\n## The Context for STEM Education\n# Principles\n## Understanding by Design\n## Principle One\n## Principle Two\n## Principle Three\n## Principle Four\n## Principle Five\n# Conclusion\n# References","[{\"question\":\"Why does the guide emphasize STEM education for equity?\",\"answer\":\"It frames STEM as a key driver for jobs and economic growth while arguing that equitable access helps students think critically, engage with the world, and become contributing members of society.
