SMATE is a national model for effective recruiting and preparation of the highest quality future elementary and secondary science teachers. We participate in STEM education research and contribute to STEM education reform initiatives, both in higher education and in K-12 school communities, and serve as a valuable resource to the university and broader community to improve teaching and learning in STEM fields. SMATE consists of a vibrant group of interdisciplinary faculty, and houses an innovative STEM education resource center for both the campus and the K-12 education community.
Thank you for your consideration and support of SMATE students!
