The BEST Institute is funded by the California Science Project (CSP). The CSP is a University-based professional development network for teachers of science. This statewide network works toward the common goal of improving science education for all students in California. For the past decade, the CSP has been, and continues to be, a regional provider of services to schools and districts seeking to strengthen their science programs and science instruction consistent with the California Framework and the California Science Content Standards.
The BEST Institute is composed of faculty from five departments in the School of Science and School of Education and Allied Studies at the California State University, Hayward. Our programs are directed by Drs. Jeff Seitz and Janine Band and a six-member Faculty Advisory Committee.
