We are excited to announce a new
research practice partnership exploring STEM opportunities and
developing teacher professional development with GEAR UP, which
will serve students across Glenn, Colusa, and Tehama counties.
The GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for
Undergraduate Programs) Rural Valley Partnership is a federally
funded program of the UC Davis School of Education, serving over
1,800 students in 6 school district pathways in the north
Sacramento Valley area. Together with the GEAR UP team, we are
exploring ways that citizen science professional development for
educators, and summer programming for students, can improve STEM
learning and college readiness.
