[Ohiogift] Gateways to STEM Education

[Nancy Jamison]

Friends,

Everyone interested in gifted ed and STEM education can look forward to an
upcoming event sponsored by Education Week: *Free Online Event: Gateways to
STEM Education*.

*Here is what they say about it*: Education Week offers you a big-picture
look at how states, districts, and schools can overcome the obstacles that
prevent more students from succeeding in STEM as they progress through
school.
In this virtual event, *Education Week journalists and guests will staff
online "discussion" rooms on a host of topics*, including the challenge of
providing strong early STEM experiences, controversies over high school
math tracking, and the ongoing challenge of implementing new science
standards.

*Join them on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2018, from 1 to 3 p.m. ET, for a deep dive
into STEM education in your schools*. This Online Summit provides you a
unique opportunity to directly interact with reporters and STEM
practitioners and experts and to watch a livestreamed series of interviews
after the chat to synthesize core themes.

Agenda topics include *Teaching Early-Grades Science*, *New Science
Standards, New Curriculum?*, and *Move Over, Calculus. Stats Is on the Rise*,
among other topics. *Diane J. Briars* (Past President National Council of
Teachers of Mathematics), *Catherine Gewertz* (Senior Contributing Writer,
Education Week), and *Angela Torres* (Math Content Specialist, San
Francisco Unified School District) are among the numerous guests,
moderators, and moderators who will lead discussions.
