Community Relations

The Gevirtz School – Dean Jane Close Conoley, our faculty, staff, and students – are vital members of the Santa Barbara community, the region, and the state:

• providing research in best practices to school superintendents, principals, and teachers
• providing student teachers for K-12 classrooms to learn from master teachers and to mentor young minds
• operating summer institutes in writing, mathematics, and science to bring the newest research to master teachers
• operating summer institutes for high school students to develop their interest in joining the  teaching profession
• building essential links and partnerships with the business community and the non-profit sector
• performing cutting edge research in the policy arena that addresses intrinsic problems in access to education for all

The Gevirtz School, along with community leaders, actively works in several key areas:

• Early Childhood Education
• Special Education, Developmental Risk, Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Science Mathematics Initiative for teacher education
• Policy and Educational Leadership

The Director of Community Relations helps facilitate these vital links between the community, the schools, and the university. We need your help to help us build these bridges. So please do get involved! Contact Suzanne Oliver, (805) 893-2460 or email, soliver@education.ucsb.edu
