The Central Valley Science Project aspires to build a professional learning community that promotes science achievement for all students through providing high quality professional development and leadership experiences for teachers. This aspiration is built upon a set of core beliefs: (1) effective science teachers are competent in science content, are capable of delivering standards-based content to diverse groups of students through sound pedagogical strategies, and are willing and able to assume leadership roles within the discipline, (2) science is for ALL students; consequently gender, status, cultural and linguistic equity issues are integral components of all site programs, (3) science learners, whether teachers or students, gain conceptual understanding and develop investigation skills through actively "doing" science, and (4) teacher leaders are a key factor in improving science achievement.

The California Academic Partnership Program (CAPP) was established by the State Legislature in 1984. CAPP’s purpose is to develop cooperative efforts to improve the academic quality of public secondary schools in order to improve the preparation for college for all students. The statute provides that CAPP focus efforts in schools with low student participation in institutions of postsecondary education or with a concentration of students from groups which are underrepresented in postsecondary education. Projects are distributed throughout the state in order to provide schools located in rural, urban and suburban areas access. CAPP is administered by the California State University, in cooperation with the University of California, the California Community Colleges, and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The purpose of the Principal Leadership Institute (PLI) is to recruit, train, and support a diverse group of individuals committed to the principles of academic excellence, equity, and integrity as a way to maximize achievement and opportunity for students in urban schools. In response to California legislation and a shortage of well-prepared urban school administrators, the Regents of the University of California established the PLI programs on the UC Los Angeles and UC Berkeley campuses. The Principal Leadership Institute at UCLA has designed a rigorous 15 month program aligned with the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders that will prepare the next generation of urban school leaders. The program grants a Master’s degree and completion of the courses required for the California Tier 1 Administrative Credential. The program is designed to attract outstanding educators who have administrative interests and recognized potential.

The Department of Education Studies is oriented around the critically important goal of collaboratively transforming educational systems to better serve all students. We research and reinvent educational practices and policies so that all learners can experience an equitable and excellent education. The Department operates on the premise that the current education system does not necessarily work well for many students, particularly those from under-resourced and underserved communities, and our expressed mission is to address disparities in opportunity provision and outcomes. In meeting this critical goal, we firmly believe that a close intersection between research and practice is key to achieving this goal and as such are committed to both rigor and relevance in our work.

Teaching is by far one of the most rewarding and important professions of our time. Our world is changing, our students are changing, and there are too many students who are not receiving the education they need and deserve. If you are committed to making school a place where young people thrive and grow, where they feel nurtured and safe, where they realize their gifts and opportunities for their future - you must commit to excellence in teaching.

The Student Initiated Outreach Program allocates funds to facilitate outreach projects by currently registered UCSB student organizations. Consideration is given to projects that are designed to increase the eligibility and college attendance rates of underrepresented, low-income, and other specifically identified disadvantaged populations. This includes programs that seek to motivate pre-college students by encouraging academic excellence and by introducing them to the university environment. Grants awarded to projects are based on the needs justification as presented in the application, the review committee's assessment of the amount of funds required, funding available, and the quality of the proposal based on established criteria.

The Writing Everywhere (WE) Collective aims to provide an avenue for both middle/high school and college-level students to explore the importance of writing in their everyday lives. Growing out of the NCTE's National Day of Writing, middle school students wrote letters to UCSB students about a topic on their minds - college. Through their correspondence, they were able to see, first-hand, how writing is both an academic and personal pursuit.
