On Teacher Appreciation Day, we honor the educators who shape our future—one student, one classroom, one lesson at a time.
A key way to support teachers is by investing in education research conducted alongside teachers and their students, focused on addressing identified needs. It delivers real, measurable outcomes. That’s why TERC’s 60+ STEM education experts are committed to bridging theory and practice, developing curricula and professional development that elevate instruction, integrating emerging technologies, and building rigorous evaluation plans that drive reform.
