With Evaluation, Research, Data Analytics & Tutoring
You might already be aware that students of color and people from historically marginalized backgrounds are underrepresented in STEM education and in the workforce.
That’s why services that reveal invisible barriers, lift up students’ unique talents and encourage success in STEM are vital.
Here’s what you might not know: you can’t determine a program’s impact by only measuring superficial demographic variables like age, gender, and socioeconomic status.
In order to increase the number of students completing STEM degrees and thriving in STEM fields, you need to measure metrics that matter.
That’s where we can help.
Sign up for the Innovative Learning Center’s latest insights on STEM education and research & evaluation so you can help start to remove common psychological, emotional, and physical barriers to STEM academic success.
Through grant proposal development, research, qualitative and quantitative evaluation, research, data infrastructure, and data management services we help you succeed in applying for funding, assessing opportunities for improvement, and demonstrating your program’s success. We help you measure psychosocial variables like perceptions of problem-solving abilities, sense of belonging, STEM efficacy, student perseverance, creativity, and fixed & growth mindset.
One-on-one tutoring and mentoring that focuses on the multiple dimensions of learners. ILC’s unique approach combines behavioral, social, and STEM learning strategies to foster curiosity, competency, and success.
