  • CTEQ Vital Signs Reports

    PROVIDING DATA TO INFORM CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY CHANGE THE EQUATION'S ROBUST, STATE-BY-STATE "VITAL SIGNS" REPORTS, WHICH PRESENT MORE THAN 50 INDICATORS FOR EACH STATE IN THE COUNTRY, PROVIDE THE RICHEST, MOST COMPLETE STATE-BY-STATE INFORMATION ON K-12 STEM EDUCATION EVER ASSEMBLED. THEY COMBINE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA WITH NEW DATA GLEANED FROM NEW SOURCES OR REANALYSIS OF DATA IN EXISTING SOURCES.

CTEQ VITAL SIGNS DATA HAVE BEEN CITED BY DOZENS OF NATIONAL AND STATE MEDIA OUTLETS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND NATIONAL LEGISLATORS, STATE LEGISLATORS, CEOS, AND AT LEAST TWO GOVERNORS HAVE USED THEM TO ADVOCATE FOR GREATER FOCUS ON STEM LEARNING.

IN ADDITION, CTEQ PRODUCED IMPORTANT NEW VITAL SIGNS BRIEFS AND INFOGRAPHICS FEATURING ORIGINAL DATA ON SUBJECTS AS DIVERSE AS ENGINEERING IN K-12, CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE) IN STEM, AND THE IMPACT OF NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS.

  • Scaling STEMworks Programs

    SCALING STEMWORKS PROGRAMS THROUGH STATE STEMWORKS FRANCHISES WITH GENEROUS SUPPORT FROM THE OVERDECK FAMILY FOUNDATION IN 2016, CTEQ INCREASED THE NUMBER OF STATE STEMWORKS PARTNERSHIPS FROM TWO TO FIVE - WE ADDED INDIANA, IDAHO, AND MICHIGAN TO OUR 2015 PARTNERSHIPS-COLORADO AND IOWA. IN EACH CASE CTEQ HELPED STATE ORGANIZATIONS BUILD THE CAPACITY TO REVIEW STEM PROGRAMS IN THEIR STATES FOR ADMISSION TO THE DATABASE. FOR EXAMPLE, PROGRAMS CHOSEN BY THE IOWA GOVERNOR'S STEM ADVISORY COUNCIL THROUGH THE IOWA PROCESS RECEIVED MORE THAN 3 MILLION DOLLARS IN STATE FUNDING AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS MORE DOLLARS FROM CORPORATE PARTNERS IN SCALING FUNDS. THESE FUNDS BROUGHT STEMWORKS PROGRAMS TO WELL MORE THAN 100,000 STUDENTS AND YOUTH IN THESE STATES. (WE ARE STILL COUNTING THE FINAL NUMBERS, SO THE ULTIMATE IMPACT WILL BE HIGHER.) BY THE END OF 2016, CTEQ WAS IN FINAL CONVERSATIONS TO FORGE PARTNERSHIPS WITH TWO ADDITIONAL STATES - OREGON AND NEVADA, BRING THE TOTAL UP TO SEVEN STATE PARTNERSHIPS. SEVERAL ADDITIONAL CONVERSATIONS ARE ONGOING.
