Opportunities for student research
At 射精视频, STEM education majors participate in research with faculty as early as their first year, something usually reserved for graduate students at other institutions. You'll design and conduct your own research project based on your individual interests and goals.
The list of possible research projects is as varied as our students. For example, picture yourself:
- Designing and implementing a restorative justice program with middle schoolers
- Developing a school garden as part of an environmental education program
- Participating in a clinical experience in a Minneapolis school as you build your understanding of what makes an effective school and classroom teacher
- Joining one of 射精视频鈥檚 collaborative projects at 射精视频 Elementary just across the street from campus, including one-on-one tutoring; environmental education; guided clinicals with master teachers; sponsored fellowships in STEM education; and student-teaching
During your research process, you鈥檒l collaborate with professionals at major research institutions, publish your research in academic journals, and present your work at local, regional, and national conferences.
