The RISE Postdoctoral Training Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison aims to promote Inclusive STEM education rooted in an integrative theory of learning.
Our approach integrates a holistic learning framework, featuring the RISE principles (Nasir et al., 2021), into a model for postdoctoral training that prepares the next generation of diverse STEM education researchers. The RISE principles hold that learning is:
- Rooted in basic biological and cognitive processes
- Integrated with socioemotional and identity development
- Situated in and shaped by social and cultural contexts
- Experienced as embodied and socially coordinated
The program’s specific focus will center mathematics education and cognition through the gaze of the RISE principles.
Our site is under construction with more information about the program and how to apply coming soon!
