(1) Factors that enhance or barriers to the im-
plementation of mathematical modeling and statis-
tical modeling in elementary and secondary edu-
cation, including opportunities for and barriers to 
use modeling to integrate mathematical and statis-
tical ideas across the curriculum, including the fol-
lowing: 
(A) Pathways in mathematical modeling 
and statistical problem solving from kinder-
garten to the workplace so that students are 
able to identify opportunities to use their school 
mathematics and statistics in a variety of jobs 
and life situations and so that employers can 
benefit from students’ school learning of data 
science, computational thinking, mathematics, 
statistics, and related subjects. 
(B) The role of community-based prob-
lems, service-based learning. and internships for 
connecting students with career preparatory ex-
periences. 
(C) Best practices in problem-, project-, 
performance-based learning and assessment. 
(2) Characteristics of teacher education pro-
grams that successfully prepare teachers to engage 
students in mathematical modeling and statistical

ing capacity in the pre-service and in-service teacher 
workforce. 
(3) Mechanisms for communication with stake-
holders, including parents, administrators, and the 
public, to promote understanding and knowledge of 
the value of mathematical modeling and statistical 
modeling in education. 
(b) PUBLIC STAKEHOLDER MEETING.—In the course 
of completing the study described in subsection (a), 
NASEM or such other appropriate entity shall hold not 
less than one public meeting to obtain stakeholder input 
on the topics of such study. 
(c) REPORT.—The agreement under subsection (a) 
shall require NASEM, or such other appropriate entity, 
not later than 24 months after the effective date of such 
agreement, to submit to the Secretary of Education and 
the appropriate committees of jurisdiction of Congress a 
report containing— 
(1) the results of the study conducted under 
subsection (a); 
(2) recommendations to modernize the proc-
esses described in subsection (a)(1); and
