Center for Learning and Teaching (CLT)
The focus of CLT is to conduct research on the different aspects of math and science pedagogy and the implementation of post-graduate professional development. CLT consists of the GK12 Human Impact Along the Front Range, Center for Learning and Teaching in the West, Mathematics and Science Partnership (MSP), Masters in Natural Sciences, and Project Wet.
The primary goal of the Center is to increase the number and qualification of future leaders in math and science education through professional development, doctoral studies, and dynamic research.
These activities are collaborative projects with Colorado State University , University of Montana , Montana State University, Portland State University.
Center for Precolleigate Studies and Outreach (CPSO)
The focus of CPSO is K-12 outreach. This includes resident and non-resident programs, mentoring programs, research internships, and job-shadowing opportunities. The core programs are Upward Bound Math and Science (COSMOS) and the Frontiers of Science Institute (FSI). These experiences provide a summer residence program of hands-on, integrated math, science and english curricula; field trips; and personal social and academic enrichment activities for over 80 high school students annually.
The Technology Literacy Center consists of 2 programs.
MAST WebConnect
The Mathematics and Science Teachers (MAST) Institute WebConnect is a free resource service for educators and pre-service teachers in Colorado and Wyoming. The service will personally find math, science and teaching resources or put you in contact with one of our many volunteer scientists. The site also has a list of Colorado and national math and science teaching organizations as well as links to useful resources.
Technology Literacy Center
The staff of the Technology Literacy Center researches, develops and adapts technologies to support mathematics and science teaching in K-20 classrooms. The staff provides hands on technology integration workshops and courses to practicing K-12 teachers as well as college faculty.
The staff studies information and application technologies such as the use of handheld systems in the classroom. These technologies support the dissemination and utilization of information, and effective teaching in the lecture hall, laboratory, and the Web and other distant learning venues.
