In response to numerous requests for information regarding the status of K–12 STEM education in the United States, Horizon Research, Inc. and Westat Inc. are conducting the 2018 National Survey of Science and Mathematics Education (NSSME+). The plus symbol reflects the study’s added emphasis on computer science and engineering, two disciplines that are increasingly prominent in discussions about K–12 STEM education and college and career readiness. This study is the sixth in a series of surveys dating back to a 1977 study commissioned by the National Science Foundation. The 2018 NSSME+ will assess changes over time and provide current data on essential elements of the STEM education system, data that will inform future education policy and practice.
