OMSC is an advocacy group comprised of individuals from the education, business, and public sectors, working toward the common goal of revitalizing and improving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education from preschool to beyond graduate school. OMSC's mission is to facilitate collaboration and align the efforts of all stakeholders working toward continuous, systemic, and sustainable improvement of STEM education for all of Ohio's students.

Critical Challenges
The recent Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) indicated that the United States is lagging behind many nations in STEM education. We need to develop standards-based education where the curriculum, assessments, and professional development of teachers are aligned; increase substantially the percentage of graduates who
complete challenging, high-level mathematics and science courses;
and improve and increase both access and achievement for all students.

A Common Vision
Since 1998, OMSC has facilitated collaboration among Ohio stakeholders to create a shared statewide vision for continuous, systemic, and sustainable improvement. Through regional engagements and a statewide communications network, OMSC continues to develop a consensus of the goals and attributes of a world-class system and promotes continuous systemic improvement to get us there. Ohio has a large number of organizations with successful improvement plans. An aligned and coordinated systemic improvement plan creates better education and economic opportunities for Ohio's communities.
OMSC Mission and Vision

Everyone Is a Stakeholder
From the educators who teach students, the businesses who employ them, the parents who encourage and support them, the citizens who will share society with them, to the government policy makers who bring unity and direction to overall education, everyone is affected by scientific and technical education. Our economic well being is increasingly driven by science, data, and technology, and the acquisition and use of new knowledge. Our future workforce must be adequately prepared for their roles in an emerging global economy. STEM education directly affects every person's capacity to understand and address environmental, medical, economic, and other critical social issues, and everyone must work together to improve it.
