Graduate students at UW–Madison’s School of Education are honing their skills and advancing their careers by collaborating with seasoned researchers on a $10.1 million project to develop more equity-centered school principals.
WCER's Field Day Lab is marking a decade of impactful learning game development for Wisconsin students with a celebration at Memorial Union and a new push with the state Department of Public Instruction to get educational games in classrooms.
The Wisconsin Center for Education Research and the Multicultural Student Achievement Network (MSAN) today announced that more than 150 high school students and their chaperones from multiracial school districts across the country are meeting this week (Nov. 13-16) in East Lansing, MI for the 25th annual MSAN Student Conference.
A new multimedia resource developed by WCER researcher Brian Burt aims to draw more Black men into the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields using research-backed methods to support Black boys and men in STEM from primary school through doctoral studies and in home settings.
WCER's Epistemic Analytics lab shared tools and techniques with 29 attendees from across the country in an intensive, four-day program around quantitative ethnography, a methodology without peer in pulling human insights from big data.
