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.

EarthLabs
EarthLabs provides a national model for engaging k-12 Earth and environmental science labs. Multiple units illustrate sequences for learning science concepts through data analysis activities and hands-on experiments. SERC designed the website structure that supports both students and instructors and hosts this heavily used set of materials.

TIDeS
The Teaching with Investigation and Design in Science (TIDeS) project is supporting faculty to develop and implement curricular materials for introductory undergraduate science courses that focus on science investigation and engineering design. The aim of the project is to prepare future teachers by exposing them to discourse-filled, context-rich, inclusive classrooms on the premise that teachers should learn science the way they are expected to teach it. SERC is involved both through support of the rubric-driven curriculum development process as well as a multi-faceted evaluation making use of qualitative and quantitative methods to assess project objectives.
