Large-scale improvement in science and mathematics education require a shared vision and commitment to action of an array of stakeholders who have limited understanding of what is needed and lack a forum for effective communication. We will bring together key groups in a statewide Summit to create this shared vision and commitment and to develop specific, achievable policy and legislative outcomes to be pursued for at least three years. Legislators, the Governor's office, Florida Department of Education Officials, Business and Industry representatives, and Science and Mathematics educators at all levels will convene in a one-and-a-half day meeting to establish a common understanding of the need for science and mathematics literacy in our workforce, the challenges of today's schools, effective methods of science and mathematics instructions, the nature and dimensions of creating change in mathematics and science instruction, and action plans necessary to achieve them. The Summit will be preceded by two planning sessions of STEM education leaders in the state to identify priority actions, and to develop brief White Papers for distribution to policy-makers. The Summit will result in written action plans that will constitute drafts of bills and Florida Department of Education policy statements. Together these will improve the environment for science and mathematics learning in Florida's schools. A follow-up component assures that these recommendations are kept under active consideration, if necessary, for three years and thus three full legislative cycles.

科学和数学教育的大规模改善需要一系列利益攸关方的共同愿景和行动承诺，这些利益攸关方对需要什么了解有限，缺乏有效沟通的论坛。 我们将在全州范围内的峰会上汇集关键群体，以创建这一共同的愿景和承诺，并制定具体的，可实现的政策和立法成果，至少要追求三年。 立法者、州长办公室、佛罗里达教育部官员、工商业代表以及各级科学和数学教育工作者将召开为期一天半的会议，以建立对劳动力中科学和数学素养需求的共识、当今学校的挑战、科学和数学教学的有效方法、在数学和科学教学中创造变革的性质和维度，以及实现这些变革所需的行动计划。 在峰会之前，该州将举行两次STEM教育领导人规划会议，以确定优先行动，并制定简短的白色文件，分发给政策制定者。 峰会将产生书面行动计划，这些计划将构成法案草案和佛罗里达教育部政策声明。 这些措施将共同改善佛罗里达学校的科学和数学学习环境。 后续行动部分确保在必要时在三年内，即三个完整的立法周期内，对这些建议进行积极审议。
