Laura in CA Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm usually pretty good at acronyms, but this one escapes me. Gracias! You're not alone -- many people are still mystified. See this amusing NYT article, "STEM Education Has Little to Do with Flowers." I avoid the term "STEM" myself (as does Sally Ride :D), but I admit it is less cumbersome than the term I find perfectly fine, "science & engineering." :001_smile: ~Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolanda in Mass Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 I am often guilty of using acronyms for curriculum, and I know it is certainly easier at times, but I cringe when I see too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
