{AI TALKS WITH TEA/COFFEE #41} Supporting STEM teachers: Insights from the Noyce program
Dear Colleagues,- A robust supply of quality teachers is necessary to ensure students have access to strong STEM instruction in K-12 schools. Unfortunately, the teacher pipeline shows worrisome signs about the supply of new teachers entering the workforce. At the same time, schools have increased demands for STEM instruction, resulting in acute staffing challenges in these fields. The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, founded in 2002, is a federally funded initiative designed to improve both the quantity and quality of STEM instructors, particularly in high-need school districts. On February 23, the Brown Center on Education Policy at Brookings will host a discussion on the state of the K-12 STEM teacher workforce and efforts to support the pipeline through the Robert Noyce Program. Professor Li Feng of Texas State University and principal investigator of a multi-year research project will present key findings from a new summary report on the Noyce program, examining its impact. This event will be open to attend in person or watch online. Online viewers can submit questions via e-mail to events@brookings.edu.

{AI TALKS WITH TEA/COFFEE #40} AI + work: Building pro-worker AI – A Hamilton Project virtual event
Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to invite you to a virtual event hosted by The Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution on February 25, titled "Building Pro-Worker AI." The session will explore the definition of pro-worker artificial intelligence and discuss how public policy can effectively channel AI advances to benefit the workforce. The panel features Nobel Laureates Simon Johnson and Daron Acemoglu, alongside 2025 Clarivate Citation Laureate David Autor from MIT, who won the Clarivate Citation Award before winning the Nobel Prize. The discussion will be moderated by Natasha Sarin from Yale University. In conjunction with this event, The Hamilton Project will release a new essay authored by Professors Acemoglu, Autor, and Johnson.

{AI TALKS WITH TEA/COFFEE #43} From skills to jobs: Building clearer pathways to good work
From skills to jobs: Building clearer pathways to good work A conversation with Rahm Emanuel Thursday, February 26, 2026, 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. EST Online: https://www.brookings.edu/events/from-skills-to-jobs-building-clearer-pathways-to-good-work The path from school to steady work with good wages is not always well-marked or accessible. Today’s students and workers can choose among many options—including bachelor’s and associate degrees, apprenticeships, military service, and other forms of work-based learning—but the systems designed to develop and measure skills are not well aligned with the needs of learners, jobseekers, and employers. Too often, students struggle to find real-world work experiences that are connected to their studies or interests. At the same time, workers who want to continue learning and gain new skills face limited and unclear points of entry back into education and training systems. These disconnects also hamper the ability of employers to find workers with the right skills. On February 26, Brookings will host an event to examine how education systems and labor market institutions can evolve to better support students and workers at every stage. Panelists will explore what it would take to ensure high school is relevant, postsecondary education is affordable and accessible, work-based learning options are plentiful, and pathways to good jobs are clear.
