Our Community Members
The Science Education Community in the CSU is a community of members-CSU faculty, K-12 Science Teachers throughout California, K-12 Administrators, interested Legislators and of particular importance Preservice through Induction year science teachers including undergraduate and credential students and those in their first three years of teaching science.
Promoting the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
The Science Education Community in the CSU is based upon the concept of a “teaching commons” whereby the community of California’s K-12 Science Teachers and university Science Teacher Educators advance and promote the scholarship of teaching and learning science through sharing of ideas, practices, and information, and resources.
Another CSU-MERLOT Partnership
California K-12 science teachers and CSU faculty engaged in the training of future science teachers can access high quality, peer reviewed teachable lessons and related online resources made available through the Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching (MERLOT) at www.merlot.org MERLOT provides K-12 Science Teachers and university Science Teacher Educators an opportunity to “publish” online, to develop comprehensive personal collections of valuable resources, and to make contributions to this growing digital library.
