What is eMINTS?

eMINTS National Center provides research-based professional development programs to K-20 educators. It is a non-profit organization under the auspices of the University of Missouri, College of Education. eMINTS interactive professional development sessions and in-class support visits are designed to:

• inspire educators to use research-based instructional strategies in a technology rich environment,
• engage students in inquiry, collaboration, and the excitement of learning,
• enrich instruction to dramatically improve students' problem solving skills and performance in any subject area at any level.

The eMINTS acronym, enhancing Missouri's Instructional Networked Teaching Strategies, reflects the program's geographic origin. eMINTS programs, however, are now being implemented across the United States as well as in Australia. Comprehensive eMINTS materials encompass eMINTS Competencies for 21st Century Classrooms.

eMINTS is currently engaged in multiple grant funded projects including the Investing In Innovation (i3) - eMINTS Expansion Project: Implementing College and Career Ready Standards through 21st Century Classrooms, Supporting Effective Educator Development (SEED) grant project - Enhancing Teacher Effectiveness in Rural Missouri and Kansas, and the Enhancing Innovation and Research (EIR) project - Posocial and Active Learning Classrooms.
