100Kin10 ignited a “decade of remarkable change"
A third-party evaluation conducted by Bellwether in 2021 found that “through their dedication, creativity, and transformational support for their partners," 100Kin10 enabled “a more connected, focused, and prepared community of actors, collectively driving impact on the STEM education field, on STEM educators, and on K-12 students.”
CATALYZING WIDESPREAD PROGRESS
100Kin10 spurred five major advancements in the field of STEM teaching and learning, according to Bellwether.
BETTER RECRUITMENT
100Kin10 preparation programs use improved strategies to recruit highly qualified STEM teacher candidates
IMPROVED PREPARATION
More STEM teacher candidates have access to evidence-based STEM preparation via 100Kin10 partners
EXPANDED EARLY STEM
100Kin10 partner programs have increased emphasis on preparing and supporting elementary teachers with STEM skills, and in particular foundational math
ENHANCED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
More teachers have access to quality STEM professional growth and collaborative work environments via 100Kin10 partners
MORE AUTHENTIC STEM
More teachers and students have access to meaningful, authentic, and rigorous STEM learning via 100Kin10 partners
Bellwether’s evaluation included dozens of interviews and an extensive review of network documents and public information: “In interview after interview, partners credited 100Kin10 with shaping and supporting a collective and coordinated effort that empowered network partners to drive systemic change for schools, teachers, students, and families on a level they could not have achieved alone.”
Bellwether also validated that 100Kin10 exceeded the 100,000 STEM-teacher goal.
IMPACT IN NUMBERS
100Kin10’s success stemmed from its ability to mobilize, coordinate, focus, and amplify the efforts of more than 300 leading organizations in the STEM and education fields. Together, those partners catalyzed change for schools, teachers, students, and families on a level they could not have achieved alone.
