Support through the statewide Science Community of Practice has made this expanded access possible. Beginning in the late fall of 2017, remote locations were able to access the meetings through two-way video conferencing. As the needs of the RIMS region grew, it became vital to explore ways to bring the four counties together. The networking and sharing of practices in science education have impacted both teachers and administrators throughout the region. It originated with a joint network meeting led by Rick Hall in San Bernardino County and Mike Horton in Riverside County at least twenty years ago. The only way to begin, then, is to just dive in, which Yamileth Shimojyo and Greg Nicholas ( Riverside County Office of Education), and Linda Braatz-Brown ( San Bernardino County Office of Education) have done through the District Science Leadership Network (DSLN) meetings jointly held four times a year.ĭSLN has gone through many iterations. Expanding the work of environmental literacy in this region is made more difficult by the region’s far-flung boundaries, which extend from the urban communities of the Inland Empire east to the Colorado River and Nevada border, north across mountains and deserts, skirting along the eastern edge of the Sierras almost to Lake Tahoe. It encompasses all of what is affectionately called RIMS: Riverside, Inyo, Mono, and San Bernardino counties, almost a quarter of the state’s geographic area. Region 10 of the California Regional Environmental Education Community (CREEC) Network is massive.
