Project Title
For a project to support the California Partnership for Math & Science Education Statewide Science Community
Date

Duration
12 months
Description
Currently in California, there is an $85M investment in a statewide professional learning infrastructure for mathematics, science and computer science, along with millions more in long overdue discretionary funding that districts and charter school systems can use to support implementation of the California Next Generation Science Standards. As an essential provider of science professional and leadership development in the state of California, the Exploratorium is a founding member and sponsor of the California Partnership for Math and Science Education’s statewide science community (CPMSE). Through this grant, CPMSE seeks to address the reported lack of awareness about these state level investment opportunities, as less than a quarter of California school systems currently include science in their recovery plans.The work proposed will a) support school systems across California to understand how to access the state’s 2022 investments to prioritize science education, b) work with a portion of these school systems to write and launch science implementation and professional learning plans, and c) design ongoing professional learning supports for school system leaders to aid with science implementation.
