The Gap of Good Teachers in STEM Education and How to Solve it?

No one can deny from the worth of STEM but if we talk about US science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, it is sad to say that the US position is dropping especially in mathematics. US position dropped 3 points in 2019. This is a red alarm for the US. To remain the leading country of the world, it has to improve and especially has to improve STEM education.

Another big problem is STEM teachers. The quantity of STEM teachers is not enough to cover a huge number of sectors. Not only govt. sectors but also private sectors lack STEM educators.

After some research, we collected some information and analytics about STEM Educators that are given below.

STEM Teachers is a Growing Problem

In almost all the districts of the US, finding quality STEM educators is a big problem. This problem is due to low payments, poor environment and lack of interest of authorized persons.

Low-Quality NGSS RESOURCES

Teachers are demanding high-quality NGSS resources for better teaching. But unfortunately, this is another major issue that STEM educators are currently facing.

US Has to Work on “M”?

US ranking in mathematics has dropped. It is the responsibility of authorized persons to find out what is the reason behind this failure. Math is a major part of life and hence compulsory of STEM Education. It’s better to find and higher mathematics high-quality professionals for better training of newcomers.

Make STEM Education a Fun

Previously, it was observed that PK – 12 education was shifted to advanced knowledge and testing which lead to a lack of interest of trainees and low results. STEM education must be easy to understand so that student does not feel it as a burden.

Make it a Soft Skill

We have not to bore students neither have to feel them STEM as a burden. STEM teachers also raised a point that STEM course is difficult as well as above the level so that students can not understand it as expected.

Researches proved that student adopts soft skills early so, it is one of the basic needs to revise and improve the structure of STEM Education.

How to Fill STEM Educators Gap

There are plenty of things that govt. and private sectors have to do in order to provide better skillful education.

First of all, it is compulsory to make this education environment better and then increase the pays of STEM teachers. In this way, professionals will attract this job and both sectors would be able to find high-quality teachers.

Already working teachers do not have advance STEM knowledge according to present demand and hence they may fail to prepare students for what we are looking for. It is also an important need to re-train existing educators.

It is only possible if a public or private sector has a good development course structure. What is Accelerated STEM Education? Accelerated STEM education is more comprehensive and advanced. It can include only one topic or all the four fields of STEM. Anyhow, one thing is clear, in this accelerated STEM education, advance level knowledge is delivered. There are lots of institutes and academies in the US who are teaching accelerated STEM skills in summers.
