Bill > HR3588

This bill aims to coordinate federal research and development efforts to modernize mathematics education in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) through mathematical and statistical modeling, data-driven and computational thinking, problem-based and project-based learning, and strengthening connections between education and careers. The key provisions include: - Providing grants to institutions of higher education and non-profit organizations to research and develop innovative approaches to support high-quality mathematical and statistical modeling education in K-12 schools. - Encouraging partnerships with stakeholders like local educational agencies, non-profit organizations, and industry to address critical educational transitions and integrate community resources. - Requiring an evaluation of the grant program and a report to Congress on best practices and recommendations for improving the effectiveness of the program. - Authorizing $10 million per year from 2023 to 2027 for the National Science Foundation to carry out the grant program. - Directing the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to conduct a study on factors that enhance or hinder the implementation of mathematical and statistical modeling in K-12 education, with a focus on teacher preparation, stakeholder communication, and connecting education to careers.
