What Our Teachers Say

We commend our CRS Teacher Members for striving to get more science into their school day.  Here is what they have to say about us:

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

CRS is an amazing resource for elementary school teachers who feel underprepared to tackle the science curriculum."
--2nd Grade Teacher, West Contra Costa Unified School District

Thought the Cal students were great role models for all my students, but especially for the girls and my students of color."
--2nd Grade Teacher, Berkeley Unified School District

CRS has become my lifeline to the people and organizations that promote hands-on science teaching and learning in elementary school.  It keeps me learning and connected.  Many thanks!"
--4th/5th Grade Teacher, West Contra Costa Unified School District 

Without this worthwhile organization, a lot of science, field trips, workshops, and presenters would not have been utilized.  CRS has been an invaluable support for me throughout my teaching career.  There would be a void in my science teaching without their support."
--3rd/4th/5th Grade Teacher, Oakland Unified School District

I love the snail-mail listings of field trip and grant deadlines.  That is invaluable."
--Bernadette Breen, 2nd Grade Teacher, Oakland Unified School District. 

I love the fact that [students] see young vibrant scientists as role models.  Job well done!"
--6th Grade Teacher

These classroom visits are exceptional.  The only improvement is to offer more of them!"
--Kristine Fowler, 3rd Grade Teacher, Berkeley Unified School District
