The Wheelock College Math and Science Education Initiative (MSEI) is an Aspire Institute program dedicated to improving the math and science literacy of children, their families, their teachers, and their communities.
By building on existing strengths in math and science education at the College, this effort is working to support an approach to early childhood and elementary teacher development that includes an emphasis on research based math and science teaching and learning.
Our Mission
To this end, the initiative aligns faculty, administrators, and community members in work that strives to:
- Build a diverse workforce of elementary and early childhood teachers who are skilled and knowledgeable in the areas of mathematics and science. Click here to read more.
- Establish collaborative programs with elementary schools, child care centers, and informal education centers. Click here to read more.
- Provide resources, support, and professional development opportunities to pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, and community members. Click here to read more.
The MSEI is supported with generous funding from the Applera Foundation, the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education STEM Pipeline Fund, the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education Teacher Quality Grant, the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, NASA, and Wheelock College.
