New tool available to help schools improve STEM programs
A free downloadable rubric has been developed to help schools in North Carolina determine the steps needed to develop quality science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs.
Advancing education through innovation
in teaching, learning, & leadership.
Bringing together students, teachers, researchers, policy-makers, educational professionals, and other community members, the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation is a center for fostering collaborations to improve education.
We conduct research, develop educational resources, provide professional development programs for educators, advocate to improve teaching and learning, and help inform policy-making.
