In the latest installment of STEMwire LIVE, CNA Education’s Dr. Daniel Leeds and Dr. Lu Young explore the Money Talks project. CNA Education looked to solve challenges in ESSA’s financial reporting requirements. The project specifically focused on district- and school-level finances. This type of information is vital for local education agencies as they struggle to spotlight disproportionate spending, determine where additional funding is needed, and other equity-related issues.

In this episode of STEMwire Live, we sit down with CNA President and CEO Dr. Katherine McGrady to explore how a STEM degree prepared her for leading a nonprofit research organization. She shares details of her early educational journey and advice for students of today. CNA Education is expanding our rigorous research, evaluation, and technical assistance to strengthen the research base on STEM education to prepare a more highly skilled STEM workforce. Our efforts will focus on student interest, skills, access, and outcomes of STEM education as an avenue for college and career readiness and successful entry into jobs and careers.

In the latest installment of STEMwire LIVE, CNA Education’s Dr. Kevin Hollenbeck and Lul Tesfai dissect the current trends in career and technical education (CTE). The duo discusses the value of return on investment for CTE and workforce development programs as well as CNA’s workforce development research strategy and how our work addresses policy development and reform.

What is the next frontier for career and technical education (CTE)? In celebration of national CTE Month® 2017, CNA Education partnered with the Association of Career and Technical Education (ACTE) to bring you a special podcast on promising trends in CTE and innovative, successful practices in CTE. Special guest Kevin Oshinskie serves as project associate at ACTE where he facilitates projects and activities that help ACTE build stronger strategic partnerships with other organizations and companies, including public awareness activities such as CTE Month. Lul Tesfai, senior policy director at CNA Education, leads CNA Education’s efforts to strengthen the research base on CTE and support current and developing CTE programs. Lul most recently served as director of policy for the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education.

To recognize National Career and Technical Education Month 2017, CNA Education staff sat down to discuss the importance of CTE and its role in workforce development. As the demand for employees with more sophisticated technical, academic and employability skills has risen, so has the importance of strong CTE programs for improving college and career readiness. Our Education division started a STEMwire Initiative to provide the rigorous research and technical assistance needed to strengthen the research base on CTE and support current and developing CTE programs, particularly those focusing on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). Podcast topics included: Promising trends in CTE and innovative, successful practices in CTE classrooms Successful industry-CTE partnerships and the next frontier for CTE The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act and legislative reforms at the federal, state and/or local levels that support improvements in CTE CNA Education work related to high-wage, high demand jobs and the gaps within the CTE research realm Click here to learn more about the participants and other CNA Talks episodes.

Welcome to STEMwire Live!
