You are a CRS teacher network member!
Take advantage of our free science & engineering education services

Membership in CRS means you are part of a dynamic network of scientists, museums, nature programs, educators, and partners all working together to strengthen science teaching and learning.

CRS provides programs and services to our members over the long term, because there are no "quick fixes" to the challenges of building science literacy in young learners.  Teachers can turn to CRS throughout the year for timely information, personal planning support, professional development offerings, curated online resources, fun teacher-only events, and scientist-led learning experiences to inspire and engage students.

If you are new to Oakland, Berkeley, Emery, or West Conta Costa school districts, email us at CRS@crscience.org with your First and Last Name, School, District, Grade Level, and Preferred Email so that we can get your free CRS membership started.

Join Our Team

The mission of CRS is to empower teachers and STEM professionals serving schools in historically marginalized communities to activate TK-8 students’ curiosity about the world, foster critical thinking, and inspire children to imagine future career pathways. We envision a community of educators, scientists, families and partners working together to build school cultures that equip all children to explore the world around them and build the skills needed to become innovators, problem solvers, environmental stewards, life-long learners and leaders. CRS leads a dynamic network, fostering relationships and collaborations that leverage expertise and resources to transform science teaching and learning toward greater equity, opportunity, and success for all students.

 

Our goal is simple: help teachers give students more opportunities to “do science” – to ask questions, test ideas, get their hands on real science activities. We need to inspire the next generation of thinkers, makers, problem solvers, and leaders!
