UNLV’s Center for Mathematics, Science, and Engineering Education (CMSEE) is a collaborative venture between the Colleges of Education, Sciences and Engineering. Aligned with UNLV Top Tier goals, the center strives to (a) strengthen the collaborative grant activities in STEM Education at UNLV (b) increase capacity to improve undergraduate STEM education at UNLV, and (c) provide leadership in K-12 STEM education regionally and nationally.

The Center for Research, Evaluation, and Assessment (CREA) provides evaluation services for decision-makers at the national, state, and local levels. CREA is currently working with the Clark County School District to understand the impact of class sizes on teachers and students at Title I Schools.

CREA works with clients in the community, including municipalities, nonprofits, and other organizations, to address their research, evaluation, and assessment needs.

The Gayle A. Zeiter Family Literacy Center is a progressive space centered on 21st century literacy. We realize our mission through workshops, conferences, an academic journal, tutoring, and the coordination of professional development opportunities requested by districts and grants. Zeiter is Southern Nevada’s Leader in global engagement with Literacy and Educational Professional Development. As former classroom teachers, engaged academics, and community-centered partners, the leadership of Zeiter stands ready to work collaboratively in the pursuit of equitable pathways and outcomes for PreK-12 students, their families, and community at large.

The Center, built in 2004, was creatively envisioned, innovatively designed, and intentionally built for combining research, educator preparation, and world-class service delivery of high-quality early childhood education.

This mission supports UNLV’s Top Tier Initiative aiming to increase high quality research, scholarship, and creative innovation that continues to strengthen community partnerships.

UNLV’s Office of Learning Analytics (OLA) is devoted to enhancing learning and decision making of all kinds through the provision of social and behavioral analytics. The mission of the OLA is to share complex forms of data in ways that can provide useful insights to improve learning and leadership.
