We Are TERC

Biennial Impact Report | 2020 – 2021

TERC’s mission is to improve math and science education for all learners. We believe STEM moves the world forward. And we exist to move STEM learning forward.

TERC envisions a future in which diverse communities of learners engage in creative, rigorous, and reflective inquiry as an integral part of their lives, a future where questioning, problem-solving, and experimentation are commonplace. This vision is grounded in the belief that STEM literacies are critical to strengthening and preserving a democratic society.

For more than 55 years, TERC’s work has revolved around fundamental questions related to teaching and learning in both formal and informal settings. This work has stayed grounded in the realities of today’s education spaces by collaborating directly with teaching professionals.

TERC’s 60+ math and science education and research experts work at the frontiers of theory and practice, not only to develop innovative curricula and other materials, but also to enhance instruction through professional development, to design educational applications of new technologies, and to create rigorous evaluation plans to support reform.

TERC is a nonprofit organization. Visit TERC.edu to learn more about our work and join us in moving the world forward with STEM education.
