In this web seminar, participants learned about the funding available from the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) for STEM, what district leaders and classroom teachers can do to access these funds, and some emerging best practices in STEM (and computer science) that all schools should consider.
The federal education law—the ESSA—includes a flexible block grant (funded at $1.17 billion in FY2019) under Title IV Part A that provides schools with the opportunity to fund STEM activities for students, technology for schools, and professional learning for teachers.
