Recently, 19 STEM teachers from 18 rural school districts in Wisconsin attended the third annual Teacher Speakout! sponsored by WCER’s Rural Education Research & Implementation Center (RERIC). This exchange of ideas between teachers, researchers, policymakers and rural advocates offered insight on what is right with rural education.
Phase 2 of the National Research Mentoring Network initiative will see Christine Pfund leading the coordination center and Angela Byars-Winston heading up a nationwide research project.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the gathering will offer guided tours of UW−Madison schools and colleges, a keynote address from Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes and a day of action planning aimed at making change at home.
Opened as a preschool in 2015 with a unique two-generation approach to education, today One City Schools plans to expand to grade six. To prepare, the school reached out to WCER’s early childhood and evaluation experts. Working together, they won a $1 million grant--enough for teacher training and to create the documentation and evaluation needed to run an excpetional school.
Education researchers from the flagship universities of Wisconsin and Minnesota win funding from the U.S. Department of Education to advance evidence-based improvements in the academc achievement of elementary and secondary school students in both states.
WCER and its projects host dozens of lectures, panel discussions and other events throughout the academic year.
