Four green interlocking ovals set against a brown circle which sits inside a mustard-yellow square in the center of the button.  The number "11" is repeated in black on each side of the square.Black text printed around the border of the button on yellow background. 

This button was created for the purpose of advertising the 2011 imperatives for the Department of Education of Iowa. It’s based on sharing the current level of academic achievement in Iowa and ideas on how to improve it. Various reports were released; one such report that was released centered on the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education plan. It introduced a new framework called “Response to Intervention” that it hoped to use to advance the education system in Iowa.
