Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) July 28, 2011 – Two of the most influential groups in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education community — National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) — have joined the Computing in the Core Coalition (CinC). This non-partisan advocacy coalition is working to ensure that the country’s K-12 education system provides students access to computer science education and the opportunities it provides. With the addition of these two leading organizations, CinC now works to represent the concerns of more than 160,000 teachers and looks forward to adding these important voices to the call for stronger K-12 computer science education.
