WHO WE ARE
Our programs leverage the expertise of educators and scientists from research institutions, cultural organizations, educational bodies, and universities to showcase inquiry-based science, engineering, and technology curriculum. To effectively teach inquiry-based science, educators must engage in model programs, experiencing them both as "students" and as instructors. Through participation in Wade Institute programs, teachers gain the skills to create and implement engaging, hands-on, minds-on, inquiry-based curriculum, guided by experienced professional learning providers.

How we address equity
The Wade Institute for Science Education believes that all students deserve high quality science instruction. We acknowledge the vast social and structural inequities that create barriers to equitable opportunities in education and career development. In accordance with our mission, we seek to provide high quality professional learning experiences for all STEM educators that equip them with resources and instructional practices to help them create equitable, inclusive and accessible STEM learning experiences in their classrooms and institutions and that support their growth in understanding the diverse identities, needs, assets, and challenges of their learners.

How we build district capacity
We offer PL programs that build on each other through multiple yearly contact points, where PL is applied directly to the classroom, incorporating reflection and evaluation to improve outcomes. We provide teachers with a deep understanding of the OpenSciEd model that will allow them to continue to implement new units beyond the end of our work with them, and support school leadership and administration as they navigate OpenSciEd implementation.
