TERC, Inc.

TERC is an educational non-profit.

TERC's Center for Earth and Space Science Education, with its staff of 25 educators, scientists, curriculum writers and technology developers, works on educational research, policy reform, education materials development, teacher training and informal learning - all in support of the "revolution in Earth science education". We also have run national conferences to encourage large-scale collaborations, conducted national studies of policy and practice, and promoted visibility for innovations in Earth science education.

Much of our work features the space-age perspective, state-of-the-art Earth visualizations, inquiry-based learning and a focus on understanding Earth as a dynamic integrated system.

Over the past few years, we have focused especially on climate literacy, through curriculum development, web-based resources, research on learning, and interactive museum exhibits.

We welcome partnerships with other allies to make climate literacy a reality in schools and for the general public.
