“El Sol’s partnership with the UCI School of Education allows us to consider in both practical and theoretical terms, the educational practices that best serve our school community. We especially appreciate the diversity of thought, experience and background embodied in the UCI faculty. Our projects together are exciting, challenging and at the edge of new thinking in the educational space!” – Monique Daviss, Executive Director, El Sol Science and Arts Academy
“The goals for this network – developing innovations that improve pathways for underrepresented students – those are things that everyone should be happy to collaborate on, and to share and gain from one another. The UCI School of Education is uniquely situated to establish partnerships across the county, and aid those with the greatest need. This initiative should generate research and solutions that are of interest to not just Orange County, but the entire nation, and could be used as a model for similar networks across the country.” – William F. Podlich
“Improving the educational outcomes for students from underrepresented backgrounds requires a systemic, collaborative and timely solution and OCEAN is the vehicle to get there. This is about our community, about the lives of so many and I am excited because OCEAN is the path to a better future for countless students in Orange County and beyond. It takes a village, and this is it.”  - Alex Serna, Executive Director, Breakthrough San Juan Capistrano
“UCI’s School of Education, under the leadership of Dr. Richard Arum, is changing the landscape for public education in Orange County.  The data-driven research of OCEAN will shape new methods of teaching and learning, and will serve as a model for the rest of the nation.  I am especially interested in the impact that the Network Improvement Communities will have on traditionally underserved student populations.  UCI and its partners are fully committed to improving public education, and I couldn’t be more excited to support this innovative program.” – Stacey Nicholas
