Overview
Situated in South Florida, home to one of the highest numbers of foreign-born residents in the world, TAL’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education program at the University of Miami features a diverse group of core and affiliated faculty whose research advances scientific knowledge about STEM teaching and learning where issues of language, culture, and poverty are paramount.
