Teacher Member Services

CRS provides timely information and personalized support services to help teachers in the San Francisco Bay Area use science to engage their students in learning. Our services develop as we learn from members about challenges and opportunities to bring more hands-on, inquiry, active learning experiences to more students.   Tell us what you are looking for and we'll help you find it! Think of CRS as your personal research assistant, resource connector, and planning consultant.

CRS is a wonderful organization whose sole focus is to help teachers increase the amount and quality of science instruction.  Their creative use of graduate student volunteers, their thoughtful, standards-based science lessons, and their ‘background support’ (with planning lessons, locating resources, planning field trips, etc) have had a direct impact on the quality of science instruction in my kindergarten classroom."

--Lorraine Mann, K/1st-Grade Teacher, Oakland Unified School District
