The State of Pre-College Science Education 12 years after The Gathering Storm: A celebration of P. Roy Vagelos' vision and leadership in STEM education

    College of Science and Technology
    P. Roy Vagelos

    Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future endorsed sweeping policy changes to enhance scientific and technological innovation in the United States, including annually recruiting 10,000 new science teachers and strengthening the skills of 250,000 current teachers.

    Twelve years on, has the U.S. met those worthy goals? What is the state of science education in the country today, both for K-12 students and the teachers who instruct them? And what steps must we take now to ensure young people, teachers and the nation are ready for a global economy dependent on innovation and discovery?

    Physician, researcher, former Merck CEO and current board chairman of Regeneron Roy Vagelos helped craft the report’s recommendations, and will offer his insight to the discussion. He will be joined by:

     

    John Ambroseo, CEO, Coherent Inc.

    Jen Berman, Math Department Chair, Connections Academy CYBER School

    Mark Cardillo, President, Dreyfus Foundation

    Jane Horwitz, Science Outreach Initiative, University of Pennsylvania

    Theresa Lewis-King, Middle School Science Teacher

    Schuyler Patton, High School Chemistry Teacher

    Nancy Peter, Philadelphia Education Fund

    Dana Russell, Biology and Environmental Science Teacher, New Foundations Charter School

    Susan Varnum, TUteach, Temple University
