Ten80 Education is a team of engineers, scientists, teachers, professors and parents all dedicated to a
single mission. We have joined forces to help students and teachers
understand STEM subjects, STEM careers and how they affect the world around us.
Ten80 partners include
school districts and Universities around the
country, Texas Instruments (DLP Products & the
"Calculator Group"), SolidWorks, Science Kit,
Sargent-Welch, and the North Carolina
Motorsports Association; all entities that
share the same, progressive vision for
education.
Over
a decade ago, our founding educator invited local science,
engineering and technical professionals into her middle school
classroom. She wanted to offer students a broader perspective of
math and science at work in the world. Beverly Simmons didn't
realize that this initial group of volunteers would later become the
first Ten80 teams.
Since that first exciting year, our teams, partner educators and
students have compiled the wish list.
We noticed a few recurring
themes:
- ¤ Fundamental concepts are NOT easy to grasp;
- ¤ Educators want and need to better understand core concepts;
- ¤ Teachers have incredibly busy schedules that must be taken into account;
- ¤ High achieving and difficult to reach students both need motivation;
- ¤ Almost all students respond to inquiry-based activities in familiar contexts;
- ¤ Achievement across subgroups DOES matter.
The Ten80 Team offers dynamic professional development
and streamlined K-12 supplementary curriculum that you can incorporate
directly into your current assessment and instructional
plans. As you've requested solutions, we've developed programs and
materials to deliver results.

Adheres to the 5E's
(Ten80's Team asks you to Do as I Do,
not Do as I Say. The 5E's are
Engage, Explore, Explain, Evaluate, Extend.
This order is most effective for students so
why would we do anything different when
teaching teachers?)
