Advancing Georgia’s Regional STEM Workforce Development Ecosystem: Preliminary Findings

A regional perspective for Georgia’s workforce development makes sense for several reasons. Georgia’s vast geography and large population, as well as the state’s diverse mixture of urban, suburban, and rural areas and multiple sectors, challenge the idea of a “one-size-fits-all” approach to workforce development for Georgia’s STEM economy. In short, what works for Atlanta may not necessarily be appropriate for Macon or Valdosta. Efforts to improve STEM education and workforce preparation ultimately benefit Georgia as a whole, but economic growth remains local. It remains incumbent for regions and their communities to become selfreliant, if interdependent economic engines for STEM that involve each region’s schools, colleges and universities, and industries.

Bremen City Schools STEM EDUCATION

STEM is an acronym which represents the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. STEM education encourages a cross-curriculum approach to teaching and learning which incorporates concepts and standards across these disciplines of study for students. In Georgia, schools have an opportunity to work toward becoming STEM-certified programs or schools. As a system, we are actively pursuing having STEM-certified programs at each of our schools. However, it is a process, and it requires deliberate planning and preparation. Extensive STEM-related activities currently exist in all of our schools, and we will continue to expand and refine what we offer our students as we move further toward becoming certified.

What is STEM Education?

In Georgia, STEM education is defined as an integrated curriculum (as opposed to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics taught in isolation) that is driven by problem solving, discovery, exploratory project- / problem-based learning, and student-centered development of ideas and solutions. The saturation of technology in most fields means that all students, not just those who plan to pursue a STEM profession, will require a solid foundation in STEM to be productive members of the workforce.
