Concord Consortium
The Concord Consortium was founded in 1994 as an educational research and development organization to create large-scale improvements in K-14 teaching and learning through technology.
The company conducts research on improving science, math and engineering education with the use of technology. It developed the Vernier Software & Technology probeware for classrooms and mobile computers, created modeling software for genetics and molecular education, and developed a Web-based high school.
Located in Concord, Massachusetts, and Emeryville, California, the Concord Consortium employs 30 software engineers, scientists, education developers and other staff. President and CEO Chad Dorsey has led the organization since 2008, following the longtime tenure of founder Robert F. Tinker, recipient of a World Technology Award. The Concord Consortium is overseen by a 10-member Board of Directors that includes educators and business people. The organization works in partnership with universities, museums and other educational organizations, including Tufts University, New York Hall of Science, University of Illinois at Chicago, McGraw-Hill Education and National Geographic Society. The Concord Consortium is supported primarily by grants from the (National Science Foundation ) (NSF), the U.S. Department of Education (DOE), the Noyce Foundation and Google.org.
== The Early Years ==
The Concord Consortium's first projects, funded by the National Science Foundation beginning in 1994, focused on guided student inquiry and the use of emerging technologies. A project-based approach to learning physics using inexpensive materials for hands-on investigations (Hands on Physics)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=9454575&HistoricalAwards=false )〕 was based on the work of MIT professor John G. King. The Concord Consortium also pioneered the use of portable computers and sensors for student explorations outside the classroom (Science Learning in Context) with science education researchers Joe Krajcik and Elliot Soloway. The International Netcourse Teacher Enhancement Coalition (INTEC) used online facilitated discussion to provide online teacher professional development to secondary math and science teachers. These projects became the platform from which the Concord Consortium created educational initiatives as a way to use digital technology to enhance classroom engagement and create new science, math and engineering curricula.
