Overview and Who We Are
This blog is brought to you by the Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics Education Research Collaborative (STEMERC).
(STEMERC) was created to serve as an
education, research, and
training center by enlisting a wide range of community based organizations,
professional researchers, consultants, businesses and professional organizations.
The STEMERC provides a forum
for systematic study and joint action to resolve pressing problems in the areas
of science, math, and technology (STEM) education and research.
The STEMERC's agenda
creates an appropriate balance between business, research, school, community, and student
learning.
Close cooperation with
professional technical organizations and constituencies is a central feature of
the STEMERC’s commitment to performing relevant, high-quality research,
consulting and
information dissemination.

Focus of this Blog
Most Black people in Los Angeles believe that our students are not doing as well as they should in coursework related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
This blog will present the State of STEM. That is, what is the status of Black students' preparation to participate in this age of New Media Literacy and STEM? Our first posts will highlight the lowlights of the California Standardized Test (CST) in the STEM areas for Black students in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD).
Why do we focus on these areas? We focus on these areas because they are the gateways to success in this 21st century economy. So let's begin.
Our first posting will be an overview of the CST scores in selected math and science courses. Sit down before you review this data.
