Project Partners and Funders
About Our Partners ... About Our Funders ... Staff, Advisors, and Development Teams
The Online Master's in Science Education program welcomes additional institutional partners. If you would like to become involved in the project -- as an institution or as an individual -- please send an email message to Sue Doubler (sue_doubler@terc.edu).
Current Partnerships: Beginning in 1997, TERC and Lesley University entered into a partnership to develop this fully accredited, online science education master's degree program. The collaboration builds on the strengths and expertise of each organization.
TERC, a leading educational research and development center, has a strong commitment to improving the teaching and learning of science and mathematics in schools. TERC brings extensive experience in implementing online professional discussions and collaborations (LabNet and LSC-NET), using technology as a curricular component to connect classrooms with each other and with scientists (National Geographic Kids Network and the GLOBE program), integrating technology into school curriculum (The Global Laboratory, Personal Science Laboratory, Hanau Model Schools Partnership) and deploying web-based technologies to gather, analyze, and share data (CLEO). TERC's extensive experience with online environments is combined with significant contributions in science and mathematics education through curriculum development and teacher professional development. TERC is committed to inquiry-based science learning.
Lesley University has been a leader and innovator in providing high-quality teacher education for 90 years. Lesley educates more teachers than any other private institution in Massachusetts and has off-campus graduate programs in education in 14 other states and five foreign countries. There are more than 140 off-campus sites. It is the 15th largest graduate school in the nation in terms of the number of degrees conferred.
