Supporting Educators Implementing Evidence-based Strategies
Change happens when educators have the support, community, and practical tools they need. Through year-long communities of practice, we provide faculty and staff with structured professional development in evidence-based strategies. Our cross-institutional network means educators don't innovate in isolation—they learn alongside peers, share what works, and build lasting connections that sustain their growth.
"I'm so excited to be moving forward with these projects and others with the SCIENCE Collaborative. Working with this group is truly one of my favorite parts of my job!"
“I have gained a large network of colleagues from across the nation who are as committed to student success as I am. This collaborative energizes me and encourages me to keep doing the hard work.”
“The SCIENCE Collaborative has provided the resources, learning, and networking that have supported and even transformed my teaching.”
Our Strategies
Student-Centered Grading
Student-centered grading focuses on practices that emphasize learning, revision, and growth. Students receive meaningful feedback, track their progress, and have multiple opportunities to demonstrate understanding. We support educators implementing this work in their classrooms.
Ascend
The SCIENCE Collaborative supports educator implementation of Ascend, a data-driven learning program that provides insight into how students are experiencing courses and feedback about how to make courses more engaging and focused on student success.
Corequisite Math Courses
Corequisite courses, offered in parallel to traditional math or science courses, provide additional student support and enhance technical skills. Across the SCIENCE Collaborative, educators are working together to develop, implement, and assess these courses.
Students as
Partners
Students as Partners programs across the SCIENCE Collaborative amplify undergraduate student voices and bring student perspectives into course planning and implementation. Students are paired with educators to serve as thought partners in developing active and engaging classrooms.
