In this minisymposium, we explore frameworks for the teaching and learning of modeling. One nuance to the teaching of modeling that the way it is taught may depend greatly on the audience and their disciplinary training or expertise. Language differs, approaches differs, and modes of learning differ. Synthesizing existing work around modeling education and providing a common framework around which multidisciplinary discourse is centered, allows modeling education to move forward in productive ways.
