Schools Like Ours Realizing Our STEM Future

Schools Like Ours Realizing Our STEM Future is a publication of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology (NCSSSMST). This book is intended to guide educators in creating quality specialized STEM high schools to realize our STEM future. "This book was written for all who want to change the current paradigm of mathematics, science, and technology education in our Nation by understanding what it takes to create schools like ours. It is not a recipe; rather, it provides a map for wisely navigating the political, economic, and programmatic terrains essential for creating exemplary and sustainable institutions that enable motivated students to develop the knowledge, imagination, and critical and creative thinking skills required for advanced study and careers in STEM." - Stephanie Pace Marshall, Ph.D., President Emerita, Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy and Founding President, NCSSSMST
