Advancing Education with Science

Advancing education has always been at the core of our work. 

However, our sights have increasingly shifted toward using science and technology to support learners of every age. Consider how our faculty have created aspects of the Next Generation Science Standards or have a voice in statewide and national committees to reshape education. Others have developed award-winning MSU courses rooted in technology or created technology-centered resources and professional development

But there is more work to be done. 

Social media, artificial intelligence, remote learning and more have radically reshaped today's classrooms. That is why the MSU College of Education is focused on the world of tomorrow, where methods, instructors and schools meet students where and how they learn best. Explore some of the ways we're working toward this goal.

The Future of Education

Imagine if methods, instructors and classrooms changed to meet the student where and how they learn best, rather than the students needing to accept a single way to learn. 

We will be a global leader in changing the educational landscape by leveraging intelligent classrooms powered by VAX-R (virtual, augmented, extended reality). In the classroom of tomorrow, learning can be customized to suit the needs of each student.
