What it doesSummary introduced in house (Jun 25, 2014)
Spurring Teacher Education Movement for STEM Act or the STEM for STEM Act - Expresses the sense of Congress that:
- the United States should be at the forefront of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education;
- students in low-income and rural areas have limited access to STEM resources;
- teachers should have high-quality professional development opportunities in STEM; and
- teacher professional development should provide strategies for integrating STEM education across all demographics.
Amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to allow local educational agencies to use grant funds under the Rural and Low-Income School program to train teachers to provide STEM education.
