The California Learning Lab was instrumental in helping get our Zero Textbook Course for Calculus I started and completed as well as our Calculus II started. The meetings with others who were part of the grant helped us learn and collaborate with colleagues across systems and was greatly appreciated. Please help protect this incredible program as it continues to help colleges across California!
Tammi supported: Protect Innovation in Higher Ed: Save the California Education Learning LabAs a faculty member deeply engaged in student-centered innovation, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative Learning Lab funding has been—not just for curriculum development, but for empowering underrepresented students, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and supporting open educational resources that reduce costs and increase access. The Learning Lab has created a rare and essential space where innovation, equity, and evidence-based teaching intersect. Eliminating this program would reverse significant gains in student success, faculty development, and educational research across California’s public institutions. I strongly urge decision-makers to preserve this vital resource for our students and the future of higher education in our state.
Horace supported: Protect Innovation in Higher Ed: Save the California Education Learning LabThe California Learning Lab has been instrumental in advancing equity and innovation in STEM education across California. Their support of our New Mathematics Gateway grant has directly contributed to increased student participation and published measurable narrowing of achievement gaps among underrepresented students at both the community college and university level. Cutting this funding would jeopardize the momentum we’ve built toward a more inclusive and effective mathematics education for all.
Catherine supported: Protect Innovation in Higher Ed: Save the California Education Learning LabThe California Education Learning Lab grants have allowed us to vastly improve education in STEM fields. As part of calculus reform, our grant was able to create new materials and establish active learning strategies that have boosted student performance and understanding. Without the funding from the Learning Lab, we would not have been able to trial innovative techniques which are now being used beyond our original courses. Please do not cut this program -- the impacts have been profound at our University.
Erica supported: Protect Innovation in Higher Ed: Save the California Education Learning LabAs part of the ELEVATe grant, CSUB faculty and students have benefited directly from Learning Lab’s support in transforming how we incoporate AI into curriculum. Through this funding, we developed innovative, AI-supported instructional materials that enhance student engagement and deepen understanding, especially for first-generation and underrepresented students in STEM. Learning Lab’s collaborative and visionary model made it possible to experiment, scale, and share these resources across departments and campuses. The continuation of this work is paramount, cutting Learning Lab now would halt vital progress and dismantle a network that is actively reshaping equitable STEM education in California. The integration of AI into teaching and learning is essential for preparing a new generation of students with the skills and adaptability needed to thrive in a rapidly changing workforce and industrial environment.
Anjana supported: Protect Innovation in Higher Ed: Save the California Education Learning LabThe elimination of the Learning Lab would end crucial support for the California Community College, CSU and UC systems to adapt to the age of AI, through the Learning Lab’s AI Fast Challenge and AI Grand Challenge grants. An AI Grand Challenge grant has allowed our research team to partner with teams at 8 different institutions to help teachers and students adapt to writing instruction in an age of AI.
