Empire State STEM Learning Network Design Principles

2. Asystemic, interdisciplinary approach to STEM teaching and learning is required to prepare the "whole" student for success in work and life
3. Effective STEM education must embrace new models that reflect real world context, interests and needs of students, teachers, and their local communities, while leveraging existing proven assets
4. Evidence-based models for innovative STEM education policies,platforms and programs are needed that are both scalable and sustainable
5. Stakeholders - business, PK-20 education, students, parents, community organizations and government - must engage steadfastly, openly, and with ingenuity across a broad spectrum of interests, expertise and capacities to contribute to STEM excellence
