The Center of Excellence for Research, Teaching and Learning

The Center of Excellence for Research, Teaching and Learning [CERTL] fosters attainment of goals to increase the number of students who successfully participate, progress and achieve in K-12 science and mathematics courses; who pursue undergraduate programs in the sciences, mathematics, engineering and technology fields; and, to promote community awareness of healthy lifestyle choices.

The pathway to the accomplishment of these goals is anchored in introducing the problem-based learning (PBL) methodology in all classrooms at all levels and in a variety of enrichment opportunities. Anchoring the strategies are two pivotal elements of the CERTL programs: effective professional development for teachers and the program design of enrichment activities for students.
