Welcome to SEOCEMS

Welcome to the website for the South East Ohio Center for Excellence in Mathematics and Science, a collaboration of Ohio University, the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College, Shawnee State University, and members of the Coalition of Rural and Appalachian Schools (CORAS).

SEOCEMS is a regional center supported by grants from the Ohio Board of Regents, with additional support given by its collaborators. SEOCEMS is designed to contribute to the expanding state-wide infrastructure constructed to improve K-16 mathematics and science teaching and learning. While SEOCEMS focuses its primary efforts on the rural Appalachian region of Ohio, it also supports the mathematics and science project-centered efforts of Ohio’s other regional centers and professional organizations.

SEOCEMS pursues improvements in:
• Professional development in mathematics and science for teachers
• Pupils’ access to quality mathematics and science
• Teacher preparation programs
• Applied research and evaluation focused on mathematics and science in rural Appalachia
• Recruitment and retention of mathematics and science teachers and faculty dedicated to mathematics and science teacher education

SEOCEMS is led by a team of leaders drawn from the center’s collaborating institutions. This team is guided by:

Jeff Connor, SEOCEMS Co-Director, Ohio University Mathematics Department, connorj@ohio.edu
Ralph Martin, SEOCEMS Co-Director, Science, Ohio University Department of Teacher Education, martin@ohio.edu
Al Cote, SEOCEMS Center Coordinator, Ohio University, cote@ohio.edu

SEOCEMS is one of six centers located throughout Ohio. A brochure describing the vision for the Centers of Excellence is available here. For links to the other centers, please go to the links page.
