The STEM education and evaluation team at Yale’s Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning promotes excellence in STEM education both within the Yale community and at colleges and universities throughout the US. We promote and employ evidence-based teaching practices and systems-based evaluation to STEM education through a variety of grant-funded initiatives.

The STEM education and evaluation team is comprised of scientists and educators with backgrounds in psychology, astronomy, math, physics, biology and computer science. Because of this diverse background, our team takes a holistic, interdisciplinary, and collaborative approach to STEM education and evaluation.
