Reviews for STEM to STREAMS: Toward a More Equitable Vision of STEM Education

How to proceed with STEM education is the challenge addressed in STEM to STREAMS: Towards a More Equitable Vision of STEM Education. The infusion of STEAM into STEM provides stimulating ways to add fresh nourishment and vitality to the field. Using the metaphor of STREAMS, each chapter presents contemporary ways of capitalizing on this vitality in STEM education. However, even with the addition of STREAMS, not all is coming up roses. The treatment of potential difficulties in STREAMS education provides a necessary and thoughtful grounding for these new ideas. This book is a valuable resource for STEM educators looking to expand their vision of STEM education. -- Frances Lawrenz, professor and associate vice president for research, College of Education and Human Development, University of Minnesota STREAMS is a next generation concept that moves away from the traditional four disciplines of STEM education towards a view that is culturally embedded and multidisciplinary. This is essential given the need to address the challenges of our time. The potential of STREAMS is to recenter the traditional STEM fields in a way that is more inclusive, encompassing, and engaging. This re-positioning reimagines the STEM fields as approachable for all students. With the justice-centered and applied focus, STEM to STREAMS: Towards a More Equitable Vision of STEM Education presents new opportunities not just for those who will enter the STEM fields but for all students to be drops of water that together can create a waterfall of change for their communities. -- Gale Sinatra, professor, University of Southern California
