Dear STEM Supporter-
We commend the National Science Teachers Association for stating that
citizens should be scientifically and technologically literate. We've
advocated including science and technology in the National Science
Education Standards since 2004. The NSTA's position reflects a trend to
include engineering standards and assessments in national and state K-12
initiatives.
