Center for Mathematics, Science, and Computer Education

Director: David J. Shernoff

The Center for Mathematics, Science, and Computer Education (CMSCE) brings together the expertise of individuals from many disciplines, within and outside the Graduate School of Education, to contribute to the achievement of educational excellence. It fosters collaborations among educators, researchers, and business leaders to enhance the learning and teaching of mathematics, technology, engineering, and science (STEM). The center offers in-district embedded professional development, mentoring, coaching, and curriculum development, as well as workshops at the CMSCE. The center has particular expertise and experience in high-quality, ongoing teacher education and training mathematics. We are on the forefront of training and implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards, the Maker movement, adult numeracy, engagement and motivation, informal science learning, and 21st-century technology tools (e.g., dynamic representational systems such as digital games). With the support of federal and state grants, we have formed partnerships with school districts throughout New Jersey.
