About The STEM Teacher Leadership Network

The STEM Teacher Leadership Network  was created by TERC as a first step towards developing a professional learning community for teacher leaders, aspiring teacher leaders, as well as researchers and administrators interested in teacher leadership. Our vision is to create an interactive site that will connect teacher leaders and further their work to improve schools, effect policy, and re-envision the future of STEM teaching and learning. 

This site is funded by the National Science Foundation, Award# 1932761. Opinions expressed on the site are those of contributors and do not necessarily reflect those of the National Science Foundation. 

TERC is a non-profit research and development organization at the frontier of theory and practice. TERC’s work encompasses research, content and curriculum development, technology innovation, professional development, creating online resource centers, communities of practice and program evaluation. TERC staff on this project includes: Joni Falk and Brian Drayton (PI and co-PI), Kim Descoteaux, Kathryn HobbsQuang Le and Peter Farrow (content and technical staff).
