Advisory Council
The CRS Advisory Council is a forum to explore the issues and needs around science education and how Bay Area formal and informal organizations can work together to bring about positive transformation of science education. The Council works towards improving local science education by sharing perspectives and creating recommendations for action and policy.
It’s not hard to get kids excited about science – our challenge is getting teachers excited, and supported, about teaching science."
--Jennifer Sethasang, 4th-Grade Teacher and Lead Science Teacher, Oakland Unified School District
Members are able to generate perspectives about issues affecting local science education; coordinate with key educational organizations and individuals; share current information about activities; and generate recommendations and action ideas.
Community Resources for Science organizes the biannual meetings, once in the Spring and once in the Fall.
