eMINTS National Center at the University of Missouri
eMINTS National Center is a Research and Outreach Center at the University of Missouri College of Education to help schools and teachers meet the demands of digital age teaching and learning. The center offers professional development and support focused on the powerful intersection of technology, standards-based instruction, and research-based teaching practices. eMINTS professional development programs include options for online, face-to-face, and blended professional development and coaching.
Since its inception, the eMINTS National Center has been committed to continuous improvement based on rigorous research and evaluation. eMINTS professional development is one of the few programs with data to support the chain of evidence from delivery of a specific technology PD program to changing teacher practice and to positive impacts on student achievement (Martin, Strother, Weatherholt, Dechaume , 2008). A recent randomized control trial of the program found significant, positive findings that meet What Works Clearinghouse standards without reservations (Meyers, C.V., Molefe, A., Brandt, W.C., Zhu, B., and Dhillon, S., 2016).
