The Michigan Science Teaching and Assessment Reform project, otherwise known as Mi-STAR, has received state and national recognition as a strategic STEM education program that ensures a good return on investment.
The Michigan Department of Education and Change the Equation STEMworks has announced that they have added Mi-STAR to the STEMworks national database.
Mi-STAR is a partnership of universities, school districts and professional societies—led by Michigan Technological University—that is working together to develop new curriculum, assessments and professional learning programs to support teachers who are implementing the new Michigan Science Standards.
Mi-STAR’s work is made possible by a donation from the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation.
STEMworks is an online tool that lists STEM programs that meet high standards of excellence, including success in capacity to meet critical need, sustainability, scalability, partnerships and rigorous evaluation.
