Forecasting the future global economy places requirements on the United States to focus developing a work force that is knowledgeable and astute in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). President Obama recognized the need to increase the capacity within our educational system to make the leap necessary to address STEM for all and close the educational achievement gap in the United States. The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of the middle school principal's perspective regarding the essential factors needed when implementing integrative STEM in middle school. The methodologies of qualitative research, in the form of interviews with three middle school principals who have implemented STEM integration and observations which followed each interview, were used for the purpose of answering the research questions: 1. What do principals understand about the importance of STEM integration? 2. How do principals describe implementing an integrated STEM program at their school site and what does the implementation look like in the classroom? 3. What do principals perceive to be essential factors, and of them, which do they feel are the most crucial when implementing an integrated STEM program? The interviews and observations provided insight and understanding of the importance middle school plays as the connector in the K-12 educational pipeline. The results indicated: the importance of passionate, innovative, transformational leadership; leaders who are knowledgeable and aware that a supportive staff is a key ingredient in the success of an integrative STEM program; the importance of district support when implementing integrated STEM; and an integrative STEM program that provides access to meaningful learning opportunities for all students is not a one-size-fits-all program.
