Who We Are, What We Do
NCSCE is a national organization that supports a community of teachers and learners. Through professional development programs, research, and mentoring we help educators in and outside the classroom make connections between the content they teach and real world issues of civic importance. By putting content into context, what is inaccessible becomes accessible, what is uninteresting becomes interesting, and what is not meaningful becomes meaningful. Â We empower learners by showing them that their knowledge matters, and what they learn today can help solve some of the biggest problems of tomorrow.
Since 2001 more than 6,000 educators, administrators, students, and community leaders from over 500 two- and four-year colleges, universities, agencies, informal education venues, and community-based organizations have taken part in SENCER and NCSCE activities and contributed their knowledge and work to the project. NCSCE was founded in 2004, and since 2015 has been hosted by the Department of Technology and Society at Stony Brook University.
