Welcome from the Executive Director
Welcome
to the ETSU Center of Excellence in Mathematics and Science
Education. The Center is a collaborative partnership between the
College of Arts and Sciences and the Claudius G. Clemmer College of
Education. Whether you are a student, potential student, K-12
educator, university faculty member, or math/science educator
colleague, we hope that you will fine here the information you are
seeking. Navigating this site will introduce you to some of the
exciting projects and activities supported by the Center. (We are a
work in progress and new information will be added periodically.)
The Center of Excellence
in Mathematics and Science Education is committed to fulfilling our
stated vision:
To achieve excellence in mathematics and science education
at all levels, K - 16.
The
Center stands firmly on the belief that we can achieve excellence
in math and science teaching and learning as well as to help shape
public policy in math and science education, K-16. It is a
great thrill for us to have the active involvement of faculty
members from both the College of Arts and Sciences and the College
of Education involved in the work of the Center. This shows our
faculty commitment and dedication as we work to improve math and
science education at all levels.
The Center of Excellence
in Mathematics and Science Educations continues to receive
substantial grant support to help achieve its stated mission. These
efforts are focused on reflecting the research on effective
classroom learning and teaching, building content and pedagogical
knowledge and skills and examining practice, using research-based
methods that mirror those needed in the classroom; integrating math
and science teacher professional development with local and state
priorities, and continuously evaluating the effectiveness of our
efforts.
East Tennessee State
University has stood for excellence in math and science teaching
and learning for several decades. I am extremely proud of the
remarkably talented collegial members of our newly formed Center
and I welcome you to get to know us better.
Dr. Jack Rhoton,
Executive Director
