"Finally! A great book that clearly explains what STEM education is, why we need it, and how to do it well. A must-read for all educators, parents, and policymakers."

"Reading Jill and Ann′s column in Education Week has been a critical part of my weekly reading since they′ve begun writing it. I′ve learned a lot from those short snippets, and now it′s exciting to see their expanded thoughts in The Stem Shift. You can′t go wrong by reading anything they write!"

Larry Ferlazzo, High school teacher and Ed Week columnist
