Public Statements
FABBS advocacy activities include preparing public statements in support of our sciences.
PCAST K-12 STEM Education Report
On September 16, 2010, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) released its long-awaited report on K-12 STEM Education, Prepare and Inspire: K-12 Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) for America’s Future.
Along with other behavioral and social science organizations, FABBS has been in communication with PCAST to address why specific areas of science are excluded at the K-12 level and for PCAST to reconsider the decision to omit important areas of science with which children should be familiar.
