Science and math literacy starts with our teachers. Rider University’s Science Education and Literacy Center (SELECT) is changing how teachers learn and teach science and mathematics by organizing learning around the Big Ideas in science and mathematics and modeling inquiry based teaching and learning.
SELECT is a formal collaboration between Rider’s School of Education and Science Departments dedicated to improving K-16 teaching and learning in science and mathematics. SELECT offers a continuum of K-16 teacher preparation and professional development programs that span a teacher’s entire career, beginning in the undergraduate, or preservice, years.
SELECT’S goals are to:
- Improve preservice teacher preparation in science and mathematics
- Partner with school districts to provide inservice teacher professional development for K-12 teachers of science and math in the region
- Provide science/math community outreach
- Engage in science/math education research
SELECT is housed in Rider University’s Bristol-Myers Squibb Center for Science Teaching and Learning, a high tech facility designed specifically for teaching/learning by inquiry.
