Administration compiled and published a broad-based collection of education initiatives.\u00a0 Many of these initiatives received substantive media fanfare while other parts of the education reform process were simply put in motion.<\/p>\n<p>More specifically, the reform of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) generated immense press from the NY Times to the NEA to PBS to name a few.\u00a0 In short, the Obama Administration created ESEA (Elementary and Secondary Education Act) to address gaps in the NCLB and create a higher set of standards while closing the achievement gap.<\/p>\n<p>The next most talked about initiative in this suite of educational reforms was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/issues\/education\/reform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Race to the Top<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 The Race to the Top was created to catalyze systemic reform to improve the teaching to learning continuum.\u00a0 This piece of legislation created millions upon millions of conversations from Capitol Hill to backyard barbeques in short order.<\/p>\n<p>The piece of legislation to come out of the 2010 reform for the future push that impacted my community the most was the push to fortify STEM education.\u00a0 In the greater Seattle area, there are dozens upon dozens of technology companies and bio-tech companies.\u00a0 From large stalwarts like Microsoft, Expedia, and Amazon to Juno Therapeutics, Cray Computing, and CH2M Hill the demand for science, technology, engineering, and math professionals is quite evident.<\/p>\n<p>The push for greater STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) proficiency has been rooted in a few key components:<\/p>\n<p>Help move America\u2019s students to the top of the pack<\/p>\n<p>Learning deeply and thinking critically about math and science<\/p>\n<p>Expanding programs to encompass students from all backgrounds<\/p>\n<p>Build valuable partnerships between schools and businesses<\/p>\n<p>Retaining exceptional teachers with mastery of STEM concepts<\/p>\n<p>Emphasis on undergraduate STEM teaching and programs<\/p>\n<p>From this initial edict, local government officials began working to strengthening and embolden the STEM teaching in the state.\u00a0 In 2012, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lwsd.org\/school\/stem\/Pages\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Nikola Tesla STEM High School<\/a> was constructed and opened in 2013 on a 21-acre campus in our community.\u00a0 As the first STEM school in the school district, there was a buzz about the possibilities and great things to come for the students, teachers, and employers alike.<\/p>\n<p>The Nikola Tesla STEM High School focuses on scientific inquiry, problem-based learning, and constructivist learning through science, technology, engineering and math disciplines.\u00a0 The classes for students range from forensics to biomedical engineering to sustainable design to robotics.<\/p>\n<p>The STEM model has been replicated elsewhere but seeing the impact on this community has been heartening.\u00a0 Students not only learned about advanced concepts but were challenged to apply this knowledge to create.\u00a0 The hands-on learning projects lead to a liquid-fueled rocket, electric-car conversion, and a blind-spot check system to name a few from last year.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Future of Education Technology Conference (FETC) recognized our STEM school as one of three exemplar programs in the United States at a national conference earlier this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmond-reporter.com\/community\/366482641.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the legislation that was enacted in Washington DC by the Obama Administration has markedly and substantially impacted the quality of education and teaching pedagogy on my community 2,771 miles away.\u00a0 A focus on improving and enhancing STEM education is having real results and more exciting changes are still yet to come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in 2010, the Obama Administration compiled and published a broad-based
