CREATE Equity K-20 Consulting

Supports for education program design and evaluation

CREATE works with campus and community colleagues to leverage our resources together to create K-12 and K-20 opportunities to learn. Together, we create more equitable educational opportunities across our region and learning opportunities on our campus. 

We also pursue Priority Partnerships with key entities for sustained collaboration. Currently, we are partnering with UC San Diego’s Qualcomm Institute on education project design and with UC San Diego’s Office of Educational Innovation on evaluating new K12 online course programming. We are exploring additional new Priority Partnerships giving key Centers and Schools priority access to CREATE’s full suite of supports, from project design and execution to evaluation design

We Design Impactful Outreach

We have helped hundreds of UC San Diego professors and research scientists to conceptualize, design, expand, and evaluate outreach and broader impact/education plans for their grants and service, matching outreach and education program design to local need and funders’ interests. We also support graduate and undergraduate students to design impactful outreach efforts. For glimpses of these efforts, see our Annual Reports. Click the link below for some recent testimonials.
