American Universities and the Pew Charitable Trusts
(http://www.s4s.org) and “Student Success: Statewide
P-16 Systems”, State Higher Education Executive
Officers (SHEEO), http://www.sheeo.org
Can core KSAs be developed for career clusters and/or high wage jobs, and used to derive learning objectives, and articulated curriculum?

10,638
Less than 35% of NM 9th
graders will complete college with a degree sufficient to meet entry level requirements for today’s high technology industries. Approximately 20% are in Math, Science or Engineering.

Mexico”, derived from Census 2000http://www.edd.state.nm.us/FACTBOOK/index.html
Updated 09-02-03
These issues are not unique to New Mexico, however, because of its
geographic expanse, low population density, low wages and ethnic
diversity, greater challenges must be overcome

New Mexico Partnership for Math and Science EducationA Sample of Major National Reports on the Math and Science Crisis

Nation at RiskApril 1983
Project 2061Science for All Americans
AAAS1989
A Nation at Risk:The Imperative for Educational Reform
A Report to the Nationand the Secretary of Education
United States Department of Educationby
The National Commission on Excellence in Education April 1983
“Education is the foundation of America’s future…education in
science, mathematics, and engineering has special relevance
for the future of U.S. national security, for America’s ability to lead depends particularly on the depth and breadth of its scientific
and technical communities.”
The Hart-Rudman CommissionFebruary 2001
The Glenn CommissionSeptember 2000
“We as a nation must take immediate action to improve the quality of math
and science teaching in every classroom in the country. If we delay, we put at risk our continued economic
growth and future scientific discovery.”
“K-12 math and science education will be strengthened
through math and science partnerships for states to work
with institutions of higher education to improve instruction
and curriculum.”
No Child Left BehindJanuary 2002
National Science Board Science and Eng. Wkfc.August 2003
“Our Nation is at Risk….the educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a Nation and a people….we have even squandered the gains in student achievement made in the wake of the Sputnik challenges…We have, in effect, been committing an act of unthinking, unilateral educational disarmament…This report, the results of 18 months of study, seeks to generate reform of our educational system in fundamental ways and to renew the Nation’s commitment to schools and colleges of high quality throughout the length and breadth of our land.”
“…Our Nation must devote the necessary resources now to revitalize our pre-
college STEM education system…we must recognize the existing crisis and
take the necessary actions.”

Observations/RecommendationsNew Mexico and Idaho face many of the same challenges:
1. Engaging public and private resources to collect and share data is a critical first step
2. Next comes breaking down the silos and dissolving the empires – based on data, consensus, and equity
3. Aligning efforts is very difficult and takes true leadership, resolve and commitment – but must be done
4. Develop and support long range commitments through public engagement – bridge election boundaries
5. Common linkages between NM and Idaho in the future may be possible through:• DOE Labs (PACE-Energy)• EPSCoR (meeting planned in June on hydrology)• NEON, and other national science programs/networks
