Parents
As a parent, you want your children to have access to the best education possible. After all, education is the key that opens the door to a world of opportunities for your child – the chance to live out the American Dream. The reality is that competition for jobs today occurs on a global level and your children need the skills that ensure life-long success.
STEM education is an important tool to help your child obtain the skills needed to thrive in the 21st century global economy. And, Ohio’s approach to STEM education is impacting and transformative. It integrates learning across all subjects, including the arts and humanities, to educate the whole student.
The Ohio STEM Learning Network (OSLN) is designed to connect, share, and build upon STEM-education initiatives across Ohio, creating a borderless education network. This network is designed to connect parents within regions and across the state to discuss STEM learning opportunities, including student curriculum, high school course taking patterns, college coursework and potential apprenticeships and internships. Parents can connect with other parents about STEM education opportunities.
Below are some helpful resources for parental engagement. For additional assistance please contact us online using the Contact Form, by email to OSLN@battelle.org, or by phone at 1-800-201-2011.
