The NEIR Educational System Change Model

STEM Educator Initiative’s NEIR Model is a three-part systemic change model that identifies and uses leverage points in the education system to create or further develop effective learning environments (ELEs) to benefit any student. The model is based upon decades of quality, multidisciplinary research- and practice-based evidence in secondary and post-secondary STEM classrooms and schools. The three parts of the NEIR model are the Indicators, the Improvement Process, and the Implementers.
