Dual enrollment is a key postsecondary credit accumulation strategy that can be implemented in several Higher Education Act-authorized programs.

In this project, researchers aim to develop and pilot test SPACE-IT, a novel professional development (PD) program that utilizes workshops and coaching to facilitate 5th grade teachers' effective science instruction and students' spatial thinking skills, interest, and science achievement. Research within the cognitive and developmental sciences has shown that thinking spatially is a critical yet overlooked component of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) success. Despite...

State and local education agencies face increased responsibilities resulting from both changes in federal law and the Coronavirus pandemic.

State and local education agencies faced increased responsibilities from 2017 through 2021, resulting from both changes in federal law and the coronavirus pandemic.

The purpose of this project is to develop and pilot test an evidence-informed, spatially-enhanced science curriculum for third grade. A growing body of research demonstrates that spatial thinking is a fundamental skill underlying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) success; however, few efforts have been made to translate this research into STEM curriculum. This project will result in a fully developed, spatially-enhanced STEM curriculum, novel measures for assessing spa...
