CREDE Joins GSE
Dean David Pearson
welcomes CREDE Director Roland Tharp to the Berkeley campus.
Dean David Pearson, GSE faculty and guests welcomed CREDE’s founding director, Roland Tharp, and other colleagues from the Center for Research on Education, Diversity and Excellence at a reception and talk on November 10.
CREDE recently received a $3 million U.S. Department of Education grant to develop a national program of basic research on improving the education of students whose ability to reach their potential is challenged by language or cultural barriers, race, geographic location or poverty.
At the UC Berkeley welcoming, Tharp discussed CREDE’s history and work that has resulted in the development of its five standards for education:• Teachers and students working together
• Developing language skills across all curriculum
• Connecting lessons to students’ lives
• Engaging students with challenging lessons
• Emphasizing dialogue over lectures.Previously headquartered at UC Santa Cruz, from their new GSE offices at UC Berkeley CREDE will conduct research and development on the implementation of these standards in pre-service and in-service teacher education.
