The STEM Careers Coalition™ – the first-of-its-kind national STEM initiative powered by corporate and non-profit leaders?and anchored in schools by Discovery Education – marks its second anniversary by welcoming new members and offering educators, students, and families nationwide an expanded collection of no-cost digital resources. To date, the STEM Careers Coalition™ has reached more than 4.5 million students in its mission to build the next generation of diverse STEM solution-seekers. 

Building upon the dynamic array of hands-on resources, the Coalition is introducing new experiences to further support students’ career preparedness. Designed to engage high schoolers in the world of STEM, these interactive resources help students focus on their career goals with simple strategies, roadmaps, and other easy-to-use digital tools. Created in partnership with NAF, a national network of education, business, and community leaders dedicated to supporting student outcomes and future readiness in high-need communities, this robust series of post-secondary exploration activities connects classroom learning to careers and provides tools to help students build professional identities and digital presence. 

The partners of the STEM Careers Coalition™ share a common goal of empowering educators to teach STEM effectively in the classroom with an intentional focus on racial and gender equity. Representing a range of industry sectors, the STEM Careers Coalition™ seeks to prepare 10 million students for the future of work by 2025 by providing equitable access to digital content and experiences that engage students in instruction, build foundational STEM knowledge, and develop the critical skills students need for college and career success. In 2021, the Coalition welcomed new members Stanley Black & Decker, NAF, Sanofi, DuPont, AstraZeneca, Keysight Technologies, Capital Power, and TGR Foundation. View the complete list of STEM Career Coalition™ partners here. 

“All students deserve access to opportunities to be successful,” said Bill Taylor, Vice President of Outreach & Partnership Development at NAF. “As a STEM Careers Coalition member, we are helping students thrive by empowering communities to increase access to opportunities to build STEM skills that will help students thrive.” 

“DuPont is proud to join the STEM Careers Coalition and support the mission of helping students discover and curate personal pathways to STEM careers,” said Jon Kemp, President, DuPont Electronics & Industrial. “Alongside our incredible partners in the Coalition, we are helping ensure STEM equity in education across the United States and building a stronger future for all.” 

In addition to creating careers content through a diversity lens, each Coalition partner commits to improving STEM education for all students, with a specific focus on addressing equity by providing access to the award-winning Discovery Education K-12 learning platform for key communities. Connecting educators to a vast collection of standards-aligned resources and professional learning content, the Discovery Education learning platform is helping educators facilitate?engaging, daily instruction in any learning environment. School communities can also engage additional digital resources in the STEM Careers Channel within the Discovery Education K-12 learning platform which features real-world career profiles, student activities, classroom lessons, virtual field trips, and more highlighting a wide range of fascinating STEM careers.

Red Ribbon Week?takes place each year from October 23rd?to 31st?and is dedicated to raising student awareness about the dangers of substance misuse through hands-on learning opportunities. Discovery Education and CVS Health are partnering to host as part of the?Dose of Knowledge program to support educators, students and communities in the fight against substance misuse. 

An expansion of CVS Health’s Pharmacists Teach program, Dose of Knowledge strives to empower educators and pharmacists to address substance misuse and educate students to make good decisions for the health and well-being of themselves and their community. 

As instances of misuse continue to rise among young people as a result of the stress, uncertainty and social isolation students may be experiencing as a result of continued changes in their learning environments and at home, it is more important than ever that we all play an active role in helping students make healthier choices. Dose of Knowledge features flexible, standards-aligned resources to support educators in integrating substance misuse education into their day-to-day lessons.  

Prescription Medication Misuse and the Adolescent Brain and Body, a digital exploration for students in grades 6-12, helps them understand the effects misuse of substances can have on their developing brains and bodies. The module can be utilized in a one-to-one environment or as part of distance learning, allowing students to move through at their own pace; or in a class environment with the use of a projector and screen or whiteboard. Accompanying discussion questions help extend learning and offer students the opportunity for deeper reflection. 

Conversations about medication use are also key for younger students. In the Medication Safety digital lesson, students in grades 3-5 will learn about the power of medicine and the importance of medication safety. They will compare and contrast prescription medicines and over-the-counter medicines, and they will understand what to do in the case of an emergency. 

Additional digital lessons can also be utilized in a variety of learning environments and expand on a number of topics, including ways students can support those who may be struggling with substance misuse, peer pressure, refusal tactics and the long-term effects of substance misuse on the brain. Each lesson also features a comprehensive educator guide for turnkey implementation. 

Red Ribbon Week?provides a unique opportunity to begin engaging students in meaningful, fact-based conversations about substance misuse and its impact on their health. Learn more at?DoseofKnowledge.com?and explore additional resources on the Dose of Knowledge channel in Discovery Education?Experience.
