Museum Institute For Teaching
read moreThe Wade Institute for Science Education is a 501 (c)(3) Massachusetts-based nonprofit dedicated to hands-on, minds-on, inquiry-based science education. We connect classroom teachers and informal educators with science, technology and engineering content expertise, inquiry-based instructional methods, regional STEM resources, and peer learning communities. We help educators discover first hand the value of inquiry-based learning, and master innovative ways to spark students' curiosity for STEM.
About Us
read moreBy working with a variety of partners, we provide professional learning opportunities for classroom teachers and informal educators. We develop strategic partnerships and use a collaborative approach for educator professional learning. Our programs tap the expertise of educators and scientists from research, cultural and educational organizations, and colleges and universities to model inquiry-based science, engineering and technology curriculums. To be able to successfully teach inquiry-based science, teachers need to be immersed in model programs as both "students" themselves and educators.
