FEATURING Jeremy Ernst
Dr. Jeremy Ernst
Oct. 31, 2013 – Jeremy is an Assistant Professor in the Integrative STEM Education program, Teaching
and Learning Dept. He specializes in research focused on dynamic intervention means for STEM
education students categorized as at-risk of dropping out of school. This specific strand of research
investigates educational models and structures as well as modes of learning that promote dynamic
content to further facilitate learning. To extend these lines of research, he currently leads or serves in a
leadership capacity on four externally funded projects.
Jeremy is the Principal Investigator for the NSF funded Transforming Teaching through Implementing
Inquiry (T2I2) project, the Co-Principal Investigator for the NSF funded Re-designed High Schools for
Transformed STEM Learning (TSL) project, the Virginia Tech Principal Investigator for the DoD funded
Military-Connected Local Educational Agencies for Academic and Support Programs - Virginia Beach
City Public Schools STEM project or MCASP - VBCPS STEM project, and the Principal Investigator of
the DoD funded Virginia Beach MCASP Grant Program.
T2I2 is a 4-year full research and development project that explores the use of cyberinfrastructure to
significantly enhance the delivery and quality of professional development for grades 6-12 technology,
engineering, and design educators. The TSL study is focused on a formative and summative evaluation
of redesigned science, technology, engineering, or mathematics high schools. The MCASP - VBCPS
STEM project is a three-year initiative. The teacher professional development phase of this effort is

composed of a collaborative affiliation between Virginia Tech, the Virginia Beach City Public Schools, the
Center for Integrative STEM Education at the National Institute of Aerospace, and McDaniel College.
The Virginia Beach MCASP Grant Program is a component of the larger MCASP - VBCPS STEM
project. This aspect of the broader project funds teachers from Virginia Beach City Public Schools to
pursue the Integrative STEM Education Graduate Certificate at Virginia Tech. The selected individuals
will eventually serve as "Lead Teachers" for school-based STEM education professional development.

In recent recognition of his scholarship, Jeremy Ernst was presented with the 2013 Silvius-Wolansky
Outstanding Scholarly Publication in Technology Education award for his co-authored article (with Allison
W. McCulloch) Estuarine Ecosystems: Using Signature T&E Approaches to Support STEM
Instruction. Also, this past March he was identified as a 2013 "Leader to Watch" within Technology and
Engineering Education by the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association.
Congratulations to Jennifer Bondy, Assistant Professor in the Teaching & Learning Dept., who was
awarded the Niles Research Grant from the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences.
