Project Focus
- Connecting STEM Research to Education 1 match Focuses on bringing current STEM research practice and knowledge into education. This includes research experiences for student such as field work, CURE's and summer research experiences (like REU's). It also includes strategies and resources for bringing current research literature, practices and knowledge into the classroom and informal science communication.
- Disciplinary Skills and Habits of Mind 1 match Focuses on developing students' ability to think and act with disciplinary expertise. This encompasses concepts like systems thinking, quantitative reasoning, field-based learning, spatial and temporal thinking, data visualization and manipulation.
- Engaging Students with Communities 1 match Focus on connecting students and education processes with broader communities and civic issues.
- Interdisciplinary Grand Challenges 1 match Focus on grand challenge problems that require multiple disciplinary strategies. This includes issues like climate change and the interconnected issues of food, energy and water. The solutions integrate STEM-informed approaches as well as wisdom from the social sciences, arts, humanities and other ways of knowing.
- Pedagogy and Teaching Approaches 2 matches Focuses on one or more dimensions of how educational experiences are structured. This encompass topics such as curriculum design, informal education strategies, universal design for learning, and specific classroom approaches. It includes both educational research and applied practice. (Includes simple materials development.)
Materials Development/Review: A focus on supporting the creation of new pedagogic materials addressing some specific content area, pedagogic need, or educator audience. This can include aspects such as the technical infrastructure to support authoring, management of author teams, and facilitating expert review prior to publishing.

Pedagogy in Action
This pedagogic service capitalizes on the successful model of the Starting Point: Teaching Entry-Level Geosciences portal by allowing institutions and digital libraries partners to integrate information about effective pedagogy into their websites. Learn about the what, why, and how to implement more than 30 effective pedagogies, each of which is paired with a collection of ready-to-use activities. SERC has partnered with collaborators across disciplines to create a multi-disciplinary collection.
