Through partnerships with local K-12 school systems, colleges, businesses and industry foundations, and national education leaders, we’re creating a learning landscape that supports all students while leading to a productive workforce.
Key Projects
Catalyzing Change in Calculus (C3)
This project is implementing Modeling Practices in Calculus, a student-centric curriculum through which students emulate the practices of mathematicians in the classroom to learn both Calculus 1 and Calculus 2. The curriculum brings active student learning into the classroom and integrates asset-based and culturally responsive practices developed over FIU’s 15-year history of transforming introductory STEM courses.
Extending the Coherent Gateway to STEM Teaching and Learning
There is compelling evidence that introductory gateway courses are often significant barriers to student success, persistence and graduation in STEM fields. This collaborative research and development project is designed to implement an innovative teaching and learning model, 3D Learning, and investigate the factors affecting the adoption and implementation of instructional innovation in introductory and upper-level STEM courses.
Supporting Teachers to Encourage the Pursuit of Undergraduate Physics
The Discovery Research K-12 program seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of STEM by pre-K-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools. This project assesses the impact of scaling up the teaching of physics and engineering to women students in grades 11 and 12, particularly in reference to retention.
Authentic Bioinformatics in the Classroom (ABC Project)
This project will transform high-school biology courses to integrate bioinformatics content around the COVID-19 context, including a scaffolded year-long course-based research experience. The ABC project will address the lack of high school bioinformatics engagement and aim to increase early access to improve students’ understanding of biological concepts and bioinformatics skills, while leading to better-informed college and career planning.
Design and Development of a K-12 STEM Observation Protocol
This late-phase design and development project focuses on the teaching strand through the design and development of a K-12 classroom observation protocol for integrated STEM instruction (STEM-OP). Specifically, the STEM-OP will be developed for use in K-12 science and/or engineering settings.
We are transforming undergraduate biology education though projects focused on improving student understanding of scientific literature, influencing interest and persistence in biology career pathways and improving student success through evidence-based instructional practices.
