The Center’s work builds on Pioneer’s legacy as a recognized leader in the charter public school movement, and as a champion of greater academic rigor in Massachusetts’ elementary and secondary schools. Current initiatives promote choice and competition, school-based management, and enhanced academic performance in public schools.  \n TRANSPORTATION  \nPioneer Transportation seeks reforms that allow commuters to take full advantage of the coming mobility revolution—with access to a range of affordable and on-demand public and private transportation options, as well as transit-friendly real estate development.  \nPioneer Health seeks to refocus the Massachusetts conversation about healthcare costs away from government-imposed interventions, toward marketbased reforms. Current initiatives include driving public discourse on Medicaid, presenting a strong consumer perspective as the state considers a dramatic overhaul of the healthcare payment process, and supporting thoughtful tort reforms.  \nPioneer Opportunity seeks to keep Massachusetts competitive by promoting a healthy business climate, transparent regulation, small business creation in urban areas, and sound environmental and development policy. Current initiatives promote market reforms to increase the supply of affordable housing, reduce the cost of doing business, and revitalize urban areas.  \nPioneer Institute is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization funded through the donations of individuals, foundations and businesses committed to the principles Pioneer espouses. To ensure its independence, Pioneer does not accept government grants.  \nTable of Contents  \nExecutive Summary __________________________ 4  \nIntroduction: Teacher Shortages in Context ____________ 4  \nThe STEM Teacher Conundrum ___________________ 5  \nThree Approaches to Recruit and Retain STEM Teachers ____ 7  \nEndow STEM Chairs in High School _____________________ 7  \nExperts-in-Residence Program _______________________ 7  \nExecutives-to-Educators Program ______________________ 8  \nContext Matters ____________________________ 8  \nConclusion _______________________________ 9  \n3  \nExecutive Summary  \nThe United States has been cultivating STEM talent for decades with great success, but that robust talent pipeline is threatened by a growing STEM teacher shortage. Left unaddressed, that shortage could curtail employment in STEM professions and the many related careers that increasingly require some degree of scientific and technological literacy.  \nWhile the STEM teacher shortage is a national problem, the effects are likely to be felt more acutely in a state such as Massachusetts with a high concentration of STEM jobs. This paper provides an overview of the causes of the STEM teacher shortage and offers three recommendations to address it.  \nIntroduction: Teacher Shortages in Context  \nFewer young people are going to college to become teachers.
