Tufts University maintains the Wright Center for Innovative Science Education as part of its Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Our emphasis is on innovation and dissemination and we are dedicated to the creation and sharing of novel instructional techniques and interdisciplinary resources for pre-college teachers. Through its fellowships, workshops, seminars, and a variety of public-outreach activities, the Center provides leadership in the training and retraining of science teachers to use innovative methods to stimulate young minds. To this end, our goals are: to improve the teaching of science in elementary and secondary schools; to encourage young people to pursue science as a career; to explore innovative methods to communicate new and better ways of teaching science; to test and disseminate novel educational products and activities: and to share the excitement and wonders of science with the public.
