The Center for Innovation in STEM Education, CISE & California STEM Institute for Innovation & Improvement, CSI³

CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY DOMINGUEZ HILLS

MISSION

The mission of the California STEM Institute for Innovation and Improvement, CSI3 is to bring Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics to the forefront of K-16 education through leadership and service. CSI3 is a regional center focused on enabling transformative and inspiring STEM learning experiences. We engage with K-16 students as well as pre-service and in-service teachers. Our partnerships with schools, districts, community colleges, local and national organizations, philanthropic and industry leaders serve to broaden our impact across institutions and our local and global community.

LAUSD & LD South are our #1 partner

Superintendent Chris Downing has been instrumental in elevating the partnership to its highest level! He has been amazing!

GOALS

• 1. Serve as a model and regional resource center for K-12 STEM teachers, schools,

and districts

• 2. Increase the interest of K-16 students in STEM careers
• 3. Increase the number of students in STEM majors
• 4. Increase diversity in STEM majors
• 5. Increase the success rate of students entering and completing STEM educational

programs

• 6. Develop the next generation of highly-qualified and passionate STEM teachers

who will be the leaders in STEM teaching practices

• 7. Increase the number of credentialed teachers in the STEM disciplines
• 8. Inspire STEM teachers and assist them in improving their pedagogical practices
• 9. Serve as model of aspiration in STEM teaching for other CSU campuses

WHAT SETS US APART?

§ We have Secured over $70 million in funding (in partnership with LAUSD). § We have developed a pipeline of undergraduate and graduate programs. § We offer comprehensive programs from recruitment, to training, to placement, to support § We are the leaders in preparing math and science teachers. § We value the concept of learning by doing (WE are NGSS). § We guarantee our teachers -they come with a warranty and on-going support. § We offer on-going financial, academic, and psychological support. § We offer exciting research and internship

• pportunities

§ We bring the university to the schools. § We offer all of our services at no cost to the district. § We have staff of over 50 people dedicated to supporting our scholars.

With us, it’s PERSONAL! It is the strong partnership that we have developed over the years, the trust in each other, and the willingness to do what we need to do for LA’s kids!

OUR COMMITMENT TO STEM EDUCATION

NGSS Science & Engineering Practices: “Science and Engineering Practices describe what scientists do to investigate the natural world and what engineers do to design and build

• systems. The practices better explain and extend what is meant by

“inquiry” in science and the range of cognitive, social, and physical practices that it requires. Students engage in practices to build, deepen, and apply their knowledge of core ideas and crosscutting concepts.”
