Mathematics and Science Partnerships:
Leveraging Business for STEM Education Reform
February 16, 2011
Yikes!
• US consumers spend much more on potato chips
than the government spends on energy R&D
• 49% of American adults do not know how long it
takes for the Earth to revolve around the Sun
• Only four of the top ten companies receiving US
patents last year were US companies
• Americans 8—18 years old average 7.5
hours/day on video games, TV & computers
2
Solving America’s
Innovation Problem
• Independent non-partisan, non-profit voice engaged
in public/private partnerships
• Align corporate efforts to help ensure that STEM
investments add up to measurable growth
- A literate nation not only reads, it calculates,
analyzes and innovates.
• Like-minded leaders have a much bigger impact
together than they do separately
3
Goals: Not Ours Alone
• Great Teaching. Improving STEM teaching at all grade
levels, with a larger and more diverse cadre of highlycapable and inspirational STEM teachers
• Inspired Learners. Inspiring student appreciation and
excitement for STEM programs and careers to increase
success and achievement in school and opportunities for a
collegiate education, especially among females and
students of color
• A Committed Nation. Achieving a sustained commitment to
improving STEM education from business leaders,
government officials, STEM educators and other
stakeholders through innovation, communication,

collaboration and data-based decision making
What Defines Success?
• Corporate members strengthen philanthropy in STEM
learning
- Broker partnerships between effective STEM
programs and corporate contributors
• Corporate members strengthen their advocacy,
especially at the state and local level
- Amplify the corporate voice to achieve measureable
results
• Ensure Accountability for Results
- Pledge to serve as the conscience on STEM
education
