The Ohio Mathematics & Science Coalition (OMSC) is an advocacy group comprised of individuals from the education, business, and public sectors, working toward the common goal of revitalizing and improving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education from preschool to beyond graduate school. OMSC's mission is to facilitate collaboration and align the efforts of all stakeholders working toward continuous, systemic, and sustainable improvement of STEM education for all of Ohio's students. To further this mission, the full Coalition meets three times annually, and the Executive Board meets an additional 9 times during the calendar year.
Mission
We advocate for sustainable and continuous improvement in PK-16 mathematics and science education in Ohio.

Vision
Every Ohio graduate will be sufficiently competent in mathematics and science to:
  • Make critically analyzed, thoughtful, and informed decisions;
  • Be a responsible, contributing citizen, and
  • Have a productive and satisfying career in a changing, global economy.

Activities
OMSC will help to accomplish the vision by:
  • Fostering information sharing and facilitating communication among all mathematics and science education stakeholders
  • Facilitating the definition of a continuous improvement plan for K-16 mathematics and science education and disseminating the plan
  • Supporting necessary changes in the K-12 curricula and supporting instructional materials
  • Supporting necessary changes in the manner in which student performance is assessed such that Ohio's citizens will know where it's students, schools, and districts relative to others in Ohio, the nation and the world
  • Supporting legislative actions necessary to finance and accomplish the above.
