Preparing teachers for the classrooms of the future through research and design.
WELCOME
We Conduct Research in the Following Areas:
Online And Blended Learning
Explore the intersections between online learning and teacher education. In the next year we’ll be offering a suite of online learning, including two MOOCs: “Launching Innovation in Schools” and “Competency-Based Education: the Why, What, and How,” plus archived versions of “Envisioning the Graduate of the Future,” and “Design Thinking for Leading and Learning.” Learn strategies to become a change leader and improve education in your communities.
Practice Spaces
Teachers need spaces to practice teaching strategies in low-stakes settings. We’re drawing on models from games and simulations to create these practice spaces. We seek to establish collaborations with other teacher education programs, school districts, and research institutes to design and test these spaces.
