UC offers a statewide network of professional development programs such as the California Subject Matter Project to help teachers boost achievement for all students. Learn about CSMP’s UCLA Math Project site, which uses a new approach to teaching children the science of math and is helping improve math scores in California’s schools.
"(West Sacramento Early College Prep) will provide an exceptional opportunity for historically underserved students to achieve the promise of a postsecondary degree. At the same time, it will permit the School of Education to engage in deep and prolonged research on the conditions that impact school success and student achievement, yielding insights that will assist educators and schools throughout California and the nation. UC is working in partnership with schools, colleges, state agencies and others to enhance K-12 education." -- Harold Levine, dean, UC Davis School of Education
To help address the shortfall of math and science teachers across the state, UC – in partnership with California State University, state government and industry leaders – has committed to train 1,000 new math and science teachers yearly for California classrooms.
UC is helping create a new generation of K-12 schools – university-assisted schools – starting three (UC San Diego’s Preuss School, UC Berkeley’s CAL Prep and UC Davis’ West Sacramento Early College Prep) and exploring a fourth associated with UCLA.
