"STEM for All by Leena Bakshi McLean helps teachers engage students in mathematics and science using a three-part framework that educators can pair with Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core State Standards, or other state and national initiatives. Educators take pride in guiding students to be ready for the future. How can they do that if STEM is not a priority? Students in marginalized communities (especially Black and Brown learners in lower socioeconomic neighborhoods) often not getting the engagement that prepares them for future college and careers or that proves to close the STEM skills gap."-- Publisher
