The Center for the Support of Excellence in Teaching (CSET) combines empirical evidence and experience in the classroom to identify, test, and share the most effective ways to teach. CSET’s interdisciplinary research teams collaborate to design and implement a portfolio of professional development programs, develop and evaluate tools for measuring quality teaching, and determine the impact of these models on student achievement—all with special focus on culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms. The Center for the Support of Excellence in Teaching (CSET) provides sustained opportunities for teachers to develop their professional knowledge and skills, including an understanding of subject matter and how best to teach subject-specific content to a wide range of students.
