It`s a breezy spring morning and a gaggle of third-graders are standing in a ring around a garden bed filled with kale, radishes, beets, garlic and onions.
"My name is Jesse Cool, and this is my garden," says a woman with a friendly smile and a purple streak in her auburn hair. The third-graders squirm and one shouts, "Is it true that you have three restaurants?" Cool nods her head-she runs the Cool Café at the Cantor Center for Visual Arts-but tells the students from Mariano Castro Elementary School in Mountain View that they have come to learn firsthand how energy from the sun helps to grow food that they will harvest, clean, cook and eat together that day. Food scraps from the meal will be composted into nutrient-rich dirt to support new crops. Nothing will be wasted. "Today, you're going to learn a big word: 'sustainable,'" Cool says. "It's called seed to seed, soil to soil." Read more...

We are pleased to announce the implementation of STEPnet:
a database/research tool that will support our work in STEP.
This comprehensive system will allow us to consolidate our efforts:
from the admission process, through the STEP year, to your work as
teachers--this system will be a key tool in managing information efficiently.
STEPnet will store biographical and academic information such as assessments
from clinical work and select examples of university coursework. Teacher
candidates, faculty, and their university mentors and cooperating
teachers will have varying levels of access to this user-friendly
system. Access to this information will help staff, faculty, university
mentors and cooperating teachers coordinate their guidance of teacher
candidates. The system has the capacity to store both word documents
and video clips which will provide candidates with an array of examples
of their work over an extended period of time.
After graduation from STEP, alumni will continue to have access to
the system which will be useful as many prepare for National Board
Certification. Given our commitment to program development, STEPnet
will promote periodic program evaluation and support our research
efforts. The system has tremendous potential to facilitate networking
and strengthen the STEP community.
