Cooperative Research and Extension Services for Schools
An integral part of the UC Davis School of Education, the Center for Cooperative Research and Extension Services for Schools (CRESS) bridges the worlds of research and practice and builds the capacity of teachers, leaders, schools and communities to meet the needs of California’s diverse student body.
Our Program and Services
CRESS is home to a group of educators and researchers who share a common goal of closing opportunity gaps for children and youth and tackling the effects that the inequalities of race, class, language and gender can have on student achievement. CRESS programs are offered through on-site workshops, off-site institutes and seminars, and they can be customized to meet the needs of our clients.
The Sacramento Area Science Project and the Edward Teller Education Center are partnerships, with Sac State and the Lawrence Livermore Labs, that enhance our ability to work with teachers on science curriculum and teaching
