PROGRAMS<br />
We realize that not all of the changes<br />
Missouri needs can be accomplished<br />
through policy. Missouri 2030: An Agenda to<br />
Lead also funds programs that support<br />
portions of the plan, and significant<br />
advances have been made through<br />
several of these programs.<br />
CARNEGIE STEM EXCELLENCE<br />
PATHWAY PROGRAM<br />
The Missouri Chamber Foundation is<br />
the statewide provider of the Carnegie<br />
STEM Excellence Pathway program.<br />
In this role, we are leading the effort<br />
to provide Missouri school districts<br />
with training, resources and ongoing<br />
support to create and implement longterm<br />
strategic plans to improve STEM<br />
education. This year, the Missouri<br />
Chamber Foundation concluded a series<br />
of 12 regional workshops and one-on-one<br />
interactions with school administrators<br />
across the state with strong impact that<br />
includes:<br />
• Helping implement sustainable<br />
STEM education improvement<br />
models in more than 150 Missouri<br />
public, private and charter school<br />
districts serving 441,000 students;<br />
• Providing more than 1,800 K-12<br />
education professionals with quality<br />
STEM professional development<br />
workshops;<br />
• Building stronger relationships across<br />
Missouri’s STEM network, allowing<br />
greater sharing of best practices.<br />
“Being a Scholar means that<br />
”<br />
you worked really hard in<br />
school and you did everything<br />
you could to prepare yourself<br />
for the future.<br />
