The current global marketplace demands more workers who are
scientifically literate, yet few are being adequately prepared to
meet that demand. Particularly underrepresented are women and
minorities, who often lack the social and academic support that
stimulate and sustain interest in science, math, and engineering.
The authors of this book demonstrate that early intervention,
especially during grades 4 through 8, can help overcome some of
these obstacles. They show how increased career awareness and
exposure to mentors and role models can help students see science
and math-related careers as desirable and viable options. And they
explain how test preparation, activity-based instruction,
cooperative learning, and tutoring can help to improve academic
outcomes. The authors also provide critical information on ten
successful intervention programs, including MESA, Project SEED, and
Operation SMART - and they offer practitioners specific guidance
for developing, funding, and implementing similar programs in their
own schools.
