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

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.” http://www.nextgenscience.org/ This is what NGSS is about and this is what we do!
