These issues are not unique to New Mexico, however, because of its

geographic expanse, low population density, low wages and ethnic

diversity, greater challenges must be overcome

The National Commission on Excellence in Education April 1983

“Education is the foundation of America’s future…education in

science, mathematics, and engineering has special relevance

for the future of U.S. national security, for America’s ability to lead depends particularly on the depth and breadth of its scientific

and technical communities.”

The Hart-Rudman CommissionFebruary 2001

The Glenn CommissionSeptember 2000

“We as a nation must take immediate action to improve the quality of math

and science teaching in every classroom in the country. If we delay, we put at risk our continued economic

growth and future scientific discovery.”

“K-12 math and science education will be strengthened

through math and science partnerships for states to work

with institutions of higher education to improve instruction

and curriculum.”

“Our Nation is at Risk….the educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a Nation and a people….we have even squandered the gains in student achievement made in the wake of the Sputnik challenges…We have, in effect, been committing an act of unthinking, unilateral educational disarmament…This report, the results of 18 months of study, seeks to generate reform of our educational system in fundamental ways and to renew the Nation’s commitment to schools and colleges of high quality throughout the length and breadth of our land.”

Observations/RecommendationsNew Mexico and Idaho face many of the same challenges:

1. Engaging public and private resources to collect and share data is a critical first step

2. Next comes breaking down the silos and dissolving the empires – based on data, consensus, and equity

3. Aligning efforts is very difficult and takes true leadership, resolve and commitment – but must be done

4. Develop and support long range commitments through public engagement – bridge election boundaries

5. Common linkages between NM and Idaho in the future may be possible through:• DOE Labs (PACE-Energy)• EPSCoR (meeting planned in June on hydrology)• NEON, and other national science programs/networks
