The NASSMC Briefing Service is an Internet-based information resource that provides brief, timely, crisply-formatted summaries of important science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education issues addressed in the national press. Through the NASSMC Briefing Service (NBS) you can receive daily in your email concise summaries of major news stories related to mathematics and science education.

A Living Archive of NBS briefs has been created to let you sample them or find ones you may have missed. Several databases are available.

NOTE: Once you enter any of the databases, you will see at the top a "Using this NBS File" button, which will take you to a description of how the file is organized and how to copy briefs and search all or part of the database. You will also see a Go To button that can take you to any of the other NBS files or the NASSMC Website.

Each Briefing Service entry is categorized using one of twelve keywords/phrases that best indicates the general thrust of the item.

  • Assessment and Accountability
  • Business Role in Education
  • Content Standards
  • Curriculum Materials
  • Education Policy
  • Opinion/Editorial
  • Postsecondary Education
  • Professional Development
  • Public Understanding and Engagement
  • School Staffing and Governance
  • Studies and Reports
  • Teacher Preparation (including recruitment and mentoring)

Although the service draws upon several national newspapers (e.g., Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post) and popular periodicals (e.g., Chronicle of Higher Education, Education Week, Life, Newsweek, and Time), the service is highly selective, issuing at most three briefs per working day.  Click "All Briefs" above to see any NBS Briefs before 2000.


The NASSMC Briefing Service (NBS) is supported in part by the National Science Teachers Association, International Technology Education Association, the Delaware Foundation for Science and Mathematics Education, Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance, and the Maryland Mathematics and Science Coalition. Briefs reflect only the opinions, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in the source articles.
