CILS Program Direction
The direction of CILS is guided by the cross-institutional CILS Steering Group, with advice and critical feedback from the CILS Advisory Group.  CILS' Advisors are drawn from different worlds (universities, museums, and policy) and different fields (education, psychology, natural sciences) all of whom bring their unique expertise to the Center. 

CILS Faculty
CILS faculty are leaders in their respective fields, including informal learning, science and mathematics education, developmental psychology, the natural sciences, and formal K12 education. This wide range of relevant expertise and perspectives is the cornerstone of CILS innovative research and programs. Read more about individual faculty members >>

CILS Participants
CILS participants include postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and museum-based teacher educators. For all programs, CILS accepts participants who are interested in informal learning and intend to pursue careers relevant to CILS central mission goals, typically in either a traditional academic research trajectory, or in museum education.  View a complete list of participants >>
