The Survey Says...

Every survey tells a story. In December 2015, Moss sent a survey to elementary educators and administrators to gain a better understanding of the state of elementary education, and where they thought STEM fit into the equation. 

While we anticipated some of the findings (66% of survey respondents indicated STEM was a priority for their district), other findings were not as obvious to us when we sent the survey. 

A sample of the results:

• 66% of respondents indicated STEM is a focus at the elementary level
• 22% of respondents believed it was difficult to find age-appropriate STEM curriculum for elementary students
• 44% of respondents thought of their districts as "technology-forward", and looked for technology-integrated curriculum tools for their elementary students
• 50% of respondents believed their students should learn engineering concepts by 2nd and 3rd grade
