The Call to Action for Science Education articulates a vision for high-quality science education, describes the gaps in opportunity that currently exist for many students, and outlines key priorities that need to be addressed in order to advance better, more equitable science education across student learning. These priorities include:

(1) providing time, materials, and resources for science instruction;

(2) developing and supporting a strong, diverse science teaching workforce;

(3) designing supportive pathways for students in science;

(4) employing well-designed assessments and accountability systems for science; and

(5) using evidence to document progress and inform ongoing improvement efforts.
