Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) Jody Chase
Mission of EHR Excellence in U.S science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education at all levels and in all settings (both formal and informal) Development of a diverse and well-prepared workforce of scientists, technicians, engineers, mathematicians and educators A well-informed citizenry that have access to the ideas and tools of science and engineering.
Goals of EHR 1. Prepare the next generation of STEM professionals and attract and retain more Americans to STEM careers. 2. Develop a robust research community that can conduct rigorous research and evaluation that will support excellence in STEM education and that integrates research and education. 3. Increase the technological, scientific and quantitative literacy of all Americans so that they can exercise responsible citizenship and live productive lives in an increasingly technological society. 4. Broaden participation (individuals, geographic regions, types of institutions, STEM disciplines) and close achievement gaps in all STEM fields.
