Supporting Educators

The SCIENCE Collaborative supports educators seeking to implement instructional practices guided by how students experience their learning environments. These strategies help students build momentum by offering meaningful opportunities to engage with content, practice skills, receive feedback, and demonstrate understanding.

Transforming Institutions

We bring together educators, administrators, staff, and students from 14 institutions across the United States—from large research universities to regional comprehensives to specialized colleges.

What unites us is shared commitment, not institutional type. Our structure allows us to:

  • Share knowledge rapidly across geographic and institutional boundaries
  • Access expertise that might not exist at any single institution
  • Learn from different contexts and adapt strategies for local needs
  • Support each other through the challenges of implementing change
