The Science & Health Education Partnership (SEP) is a collaboration between the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). SEP's mission is to promote partnership between scientists and educators in support of high quality science education for K-12 students. To these ends, SEP develops and implements programs that support teaching and learning among teachers, students, and scientists; promote an understanding of science as a creative discipline, a process, and a body of integrated concepts; contribute to a deeper understanding of partnership; and provide models and strategies for other institutions interested in fostering partnerships between scientific and education communities.
UCSF is a graduate biomedical research institution consisting of four professional schools and a graduate division. Researchers and health clinicians from UCSF comprise SEP's pool of scientist volunteers. Initiated in 1987 by UCSF Professor Bruce Alberts, current President of the National Academy of Sciences, SEP is now an academic unit within the UCSF Office of Student Academic Affairs. All SEP programs take place within the context of SFUSD, a large and diverse urban school district with a long history of achievement in science education reform. These programs would not be possible without the contributions of volunteers, teachers, and students. |
