The use of technology (information and communication technology, ICT) in secondary education is an important aspect of the current curriculum and of teachers' pedagogy. Learning supported by computers is supposed to be motivating for students and is, therefore, assumed to have positive effects on learning experiences and results.

Abstract: This article focuses on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in secondary inclusive classrooms. Co-teaching is increasingly used in inclusive practice by administrators to provide effective instruction in inclusive classrooms. The practical and successful instructional strategies in the article focus on one co-teaching structure: station teaching. Although co-teaching has six different models, station teaching can provide a meaningful way for general educators and special educators to work collaboratively in the STEM inclusive classroom. This article will demonstrate the technology and communication enhancement that are necessary in STEM careers.

According to 2011 findings by the Economics & Statistics Administration, less than 25% of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) jobs are held by women - even though they make up more than half the workforce and college degrees. An undeniable glass ceiling hovers over these industries, and women and men alike do their best to start lugging stones at it.

Programs at New Albany's high school and middle school are preparing young women to take advantage of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) opportunities. At the high school, technology teacher David Herman formed a club for female students interested in the STEM fields.

As framed by national education policy priorities, the dominant metaphor describing participation and achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is a "pipeline." The STEM workforce requires a "pipeline" of future scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. This pipeline begins in childhood and carries students through high school, college, and master's degrees, ending with a doctorate and a career in a STEM discipline.
