The Mathematics, Science and Technology Education (MSTE) program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has evolved as a learning system--a community of practice that functions as a bridge among other such communities promoting collaboration between widely dispersed academic researchers, K-12 school teachers, administrators and students at all levels, as well as supportive interactions with a board of experienced advisors.
Our over-arching mission, to enhance student achievement and teaching performance in the fields of mathematics, science, and technology, includes developing innovative uses of information technologies to support research as well as educational practice.
