Spreading the Word, Sharing the Work

May 2023 Newsletter: STEM PUSH shares progress at national convenings

With a mission to broaden participation in STEM for Black, Latina/o/e and Indigenous students, STEM PUSH hit the road, presenting at two national convenings about our learning and resources to support, scale and sustain the work.

In April, Network and pre-college STEM program (PCSP) leaders joined the Carnegie Foundation Summit on Improvement in Education for their 10th anniversary to share our unique approach of networked PCSPs engaged in improvement science. 

In May, STEM PUSH Ecosystem and PCSP leaders joined more than 600 internationally located STEM leaders for the STEM Learning Ecosystems Community of Practice (SLECoP) Annual Convening. 

STEM PUSH shared our adapted tools and routines to better center equity in the work and broaden participation in STEM.

These resources, as well as strategies for the best ways to leverage them within communities across the nation, were workshopped and presented to STEM leaders for further adoption and reach.
