Teachers in the MERIT program learn new technologies to make what they do more engaging and effective.
• Mission: The MERIT (Making Education Relevant through Innovative Teaching) program is the Krause Center for Innovation’s premier professional development initiative for teachers. MERIT is in its 19th year of transforming how teachers teach to transform how students learn.
As KCI’s flagship program, MERIT is the program teachers apply for if they want to focus on changing their teaching practice to become more student-centered. MERIT focuses on innovative teaching practices and is designed to help teachers bolster their curricula with technology-enhanced learning activities to motivate, challenge and inspire diverse learners, with students who are college- and career-ready as the end result.
