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.
