Meet the SEEC Team!

We are experienced researchers and evaluators with expertise grounded in theory and practice and applied across STEM education fields and settings. We understand the affordances and constraints of different methods and approaches, design instruments and studies, collect and analyze data, and report results that include highly nuanced descriptions of a phenomenon, multi-faceted comparisons of outcomes, or evidence of causal impact.

About TERC

TERC is a nonprofit in Cambridge, MA, where teams of innovative STEM experts are dedicated to advancing math and science education through research, curriculum development, technology design, professional learning, and program evaluation. For 60 years, TERC has been a pioneer in STEM education research in both formal and informal settings, driven by the belief that every student deserves access to high-quality learning experiences. By meeting both educators and learners where they are, TERC provides the tools, resources, and support needed to foster meaningful and successful STEM learning. Learn more at www.terc.edu.

 

TERC evaluators are professional and thorough, both in terms of their evaluation process and data analysis. Their expertise in educational research, as well as domain-specific education – in my case, the areas are Computer Science Education and Special Education – and their attention to detail and depth of knowledge enabled me to grow my research and have an impact. TERC evaluators are thoughtful advisors that provide useful and meaningful feedback and guidance. I will approach TERC for future projects, as well as recommend TERC evaluators to others.”
