SIT Center for Teacher Education, Training, and Research
The mission of the SIT Center for Teacher Education,
Training, and Research is to increase educational opportunities, improve
learning, and deepen the knowledge and understanding of learning, teaching,
and teacher education. Promoting research and practice, the center provides
consultation, technical support, training, and sponsored research to client
institutions. The center’s work with schools and organizations around
the world provides significant employment resources for SIT Master of
Arts in Teaching graduates.
Recent center initiatives include a three-year project
to research the teaching of Spanish to learning-disabled adults; a partnership
with Brazil’s oldest binational cultural center to bring learner-centered
language teaching methods to more than 13,000 students; a Massachusetts
statewide effort to set adult ESOL standards through the establishment
of a curriculum framework; and a project to train teachers in Rwanda to
teach English to members of the Rwandan parliament.
