Directs the Secretary of Education to: (1) award no less than 5 and no more than 10 of those grants each fiscal year, and (2) give priority to grantees that include or serve a high-need LEA.

Requires the grants to be used to:

  • increase student awareness about STEM career pathways that reflect STEM workforce needs in the area,
  • develop statewide plans that integrate and align workforce needs with STEM education and training programs that provide students with STEM-specific skills and credentials, and
  • identify the strengths and weaknesses in state STEM education efforts and prioritize strategies to address those weaknesses.

Authorizes the grants to be used to:

  • promote and develop in-school and out-of-school curricular tools and professional development for STEM educators at the elementary and secondary school level;
  • provide induction and mentoring services to new teachers in STEM subjects;
  • promote and develop rigorous undergraduate pre-service teacher programs at IHEs that emphasize STEM content;
  • support the participation of elementary and secondary school students in STEM-related competitions, out-of-school activities, and field experiences;
  • assist in the implementation and assessment of rigorous career and college ready standards in STEM education for students in prekindergarten through grade 12; and
  • develop STEM-related education and workforce training programs in secondary schools and community colleges that reflect local community needs.
