Development Process
NISE Network materials are informed by data and expertise and improved through use and experience. We use an iterative, collaborative development process that involves educators, subject matter experts, learners, and evaluator/researchers. Our products are designed to be flexible and adaptable, to meet the needs of our partner organizations.
Network professionals work together to create and share resources, practices, and knowledge.
Through our projects, we design, implement, and study out-of-school STEM learning programs, exhibits, and media. This work is informed by evaluation studies, research on learning, and wisdom from practice.
Network leaders and partners identify needs in the field and draw on our combined capacity and expertise to address them. Our project teams create resources and coordinate activities nationally, and partner organizations implement project activities locally. As Network professionals participate in project activities, they are able to adapt materials for their local community.
