![]() Kristen and her team have supported our multiple partners (including the Ohio Department of Education, MU's Center for School-Based Mental Health Programs, and our three partnering Educational Service Centers in Cuyahoga, Warren, and Wood counties) in navigating the complex and multiple layers of federal, state, and local process and outcome measurement and reporting, which allows our team to focus on bringing much-needed mental health and behavioral health services to our youth in Ohio's schools.” ![]() “Kristen Morio and her Discovery Center colleagues have been outstanding evaluation partners throughout Ohio's Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resilience Education) initiative. Diana Lowe, 35-year, Retired K-2 Ohio Educator, 14-year iDiscoverySupporter and Facilitator Dr. To me, these areas of support are the real power behind iDiscovery classes.” I have observed that primary teachers will embrace student led, problem based mathematics if they are just given the opportunity to learn best practices and if they are given the support needed to implement these practices in their classrooms. “I am very passionate about supporting iDiscovery professional learning experiences here in Ohio. I have been involved in facilitating these classes since the inception of the program. Primary teachers need professional development focusing specifically on K-2 math. Eaton Lattman, BioXFEL Center & Department Structural Biology, University at Buffalo, Hauptman-Woodward Institute, SUNY Principal Research Scientist, and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director Emeritus Diana Lowe The ability to gather data from our constituents in a professional, analytical manner with the Center’s help has been invaluable.” ![]() “ has helped the NSF BioXFEL Science and Technology Center stay focused and committed to our strategic objectives.

Their direct and regular engagement on every level of the ISEP program planning is a key resource and truly unique." "The Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Partnership (ISEP) with Buffalo Public Schools is an NSF Math Science Partnership and most recently, one of 27 STEM Ecosystems recognized nationally by the STEM Funders Network. Joanne Caniglia, Associate Professor, Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum Studies, Kent State University Dr. From personal observation of the project to the final analysis of data, the Center gives national, state, and regional reports that provide readers with a clear understanding of the project.” “The Center has provided our grant program officers with reports that are carefully assembled not only ensuring compliance, but also to give the most accurate information to the leadership team.
