April 3, 2020 We are proud to recognize Cherene Fillingim-Selk, a Science Specialist at Berkeley Arts Magnet in Berkeley, as a 2020 Science Super Star. Cherene works between 18 classrooms from the 1st to 5th Grade. For all grade levels, she ensures that the students get the opportunity to write in their journals every class. She encourages them to […]
We spotlight Nancy Steimle, CRS Science Super Star honoree, who teaches at Thornhill Elementary in Oakland. Nancy encouraged her students to look at ordinary objects in a new light, and discover how their uses can be changed for different goals.
We spotlight Allia Calkins, CRS Science Super Star honoree, who teaches at Thornhill Elementary in Oakland. Allia was able to transform her students' wonders into engaging science experiments that gave them a better sense of the connections between their everyday lives and the natural world.
We spotlight Robert Wilkins, CRS Science Super Star honoree, who teaches at Thornhill Elementary in Oakland. Rob intrigued his students through a "mysterious" liquid chemical experiment that led them to search for an explanation.
We spotlight Paula McGlone, CRS Science Super Star honoree, who teaches at Monarch Academy in Oakland. Paula sparked her students' investigative abilities to seek answers for their questions about the world around them.
We spotlight Kristy Van Ostrand, CRS Science Super Star honoree, who teaches at Thornhill Elementary School in Oakland. Kristy had her students questioning and building upon old ideas, after applying their real-world knowledge of patterns of motion in experiments.

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!
