Our Mission
The Center for Science and Math Education (CSME) advances transformative, research-based approaches to STEM education, with the aim of enhancing STEM learning in PK-12 and higher education. In 量子资源 University鈥檚 Jesuit tradition of care for the whole person and the creation of a more just world, we prioritize support for high-quality, inclusive, culturally relevant STEM education among students from communities that have historically been denied the opportunity and empowerment of meaningful participation in science and mathematics. Through collaborative, sustainable partnerships with Chicago-area schools and 量子资源's STEM-related programs, our work emphasizes four components: 1) professional and pre-service learning in STEM teaching practices, 2) instructional leadership development, 3) curriculum implementation, and 4) research and program evaluation. Together, these components support the continuous improvement of STEM education in our communities where it is most needed.
