Dear ISEN-ASTC listserv member,

We recently invited members of this list to participate in a study
exploring the needs that must be addressed to effectively evaluate STEM
(science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education.

We have asked people to brainstorm responses to the following statement:
“IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY EVALUATE MY STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY,
ENGINEERING, MATHEMATICS) EDUCATION EFFORTS, I NEED…”

If you would like to see what your colleagues have said thus far (or add
your own ideas), you can click on the following link (or copy and paste
into your browser):

We encourage you to add your own input; your participation is entirely
anonymous – and this brainstorming exercise will be closed soon.

Please note that upon completion of the project, a link to the complete
report about effective evaluation of STEM education will be made available
to this listserv community.

If you have any questions, you may contact Jennifer Brown at (607)
255-2864 or [log in to unmask]
