About Programs
SEPAL offers a variety of science partnership programs for science educators from elementary through college.
Science Partners in K-12 Education (SPIKE)
Semester-long partnerships between elementary, middle or high school teachers and SFSU science undergraduate and graduate students.
Spectrum: SFSU Women in Biology
Spectrum is a community of women of color in the biomedical sciences. Spectrum brings together women scientists of all ages together — SFSU undergraduate students, SFSU Masters students, SFSU alumni in local doctoral and biotechnology positions, SFSU Faculty, and middle and high school students and teachers. SFSU Spectrum scientists collaborate to learn and share their knowledge about the biology behind women’s health issues and current research being conducted by women biomedical researchers of color.
CCB FEST: Community College Biology Faculty Enhancement through Scientific Teaching
CCB FEST brings together current and aspiring SF Bay Area community college biology instructors to build professional community, learn from one another, and explore scientific teaching and innovative approaches to integrating active learning, assessment, equity, and classroom research into community college biology teaching.
SEPAL Teaching Assistantships (SEPAL TA):
Year-long partnerships between middle or high school science teachers and SFSU science graduate students. Partnership teams work together to create inquiry-based science lessons. The SEPAL TA program will be on hiatus during the 2011-2012 academic year.
