We spotlight Nicol LaCava and Carolina Equihua-Cerda, CRS Science Super Star honorees, who teach at the International Community School. Nicol and Carolina worked on building up students’ observational and evidence-based skills by creating experiments that work with monitoring butterfly, plant, and mealworm specimen.
We spotlight Denise Kruger Case and Cynthia Lopez, CRS Science Super Star honorees, who teach at International Community School in Oakland. Denise and Cynthia designed experiments focused on seeds to highlight plant and animal life cycles through a captivating method of learning.
We spotlight Micaela Morse, CRS Science Super Star honoree, who teaches at the International Community School in Oakland. For the past year, Micaela led her students through a series of hands-on experiments that would have lasting impacts on the way they learned.
We spotlight Cristina Ramos and Pamela Long, CRS Science Super Star honorees, who teach at the International Community School in Oakland. Cristina and Pamela stretched their students' imaginations and critical thinking through a life-science unit employing crayfish.
We spotlight Mark Spencer, CRS Science Super Star honoree, who teaches at the International Community School in Oakland. Mark’s dedication to teaching science that plays off of students’ interests creates an environment where students can relate, and ultimately make long-lasting meaning out of lessons.
We spotlight Margarita Garcia and Naomi Martin, CRS Science Super Star honorees, who teach at New Highland Academy in Oakland. By making an effort to teach science, Margarita and Naomi are ultimately departing the skill of meaning making and the importance of learning on their students.
We spotlight Joanna Davis, CRS Science Super Star honoree, who teaches at New Highland Academy in Oakland.

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!
