Thank you for your support!
It’s been an incredibly busy season at talkSTEM as we seek to understand and address the challenges and learning loss students around the world are facing due to the pandemic. New research from National Center for Education Statistics, which conducted a nationwide assessment of 15,000 9-year-old students in reading and math, found that average math scores fell 7 points since 2020 – the first-ever decline since the 1970s.
Earlier this month, we hosted a group of supporters and educators for a “touch base with talkSTEM” event to discuss ideas for growing and scaling our programs to address these challenges.
In this newsletter, you will learn more about what we are doing and how you can help talkSTEM create a culture of personalized math and STEM learning wherever children may be. I am grateful for your interest.
