Abstract	While much work has been done to promote and advance convergence education over the past decade, a distinct and common framework is beneficial to the concept of convergence education being adopted and universally recognized. Therefore, based on extensive literature review and stakeholder engagement, the IWGC developed a definition and overarching guidance related to convergence education, which are the basis for this report. The intended audience is Federal Agencies and other STEM education stakeholders, with the intended use of this document being to support the understanding and implementation of convergence education. This document is particularly aligned to the IWGC objective to "encourage transdisciplinary learning" because it addresses the key federal action to support research, development, and dissemination on effective transdisciplinary STEM education practices, programs, and policies; and, it ensures Federal activities support the upskilling of educators reflecting transdisciplinary approaches featuring teaching that focuses on local and global community questions. However, it also incorporates connections to the objectives to "advance innovation and entrepreneurship education" and "make mathematics a magnet." (ERIC).
