The National Center for Science Education is a small nonprofit based in Oakland, California, with more than four decades of work to safeguard evidence-based science education in public schools. It focuses on controversial topics such as evolution and climate change, providing training to teachers and community volunteers to address misconceptions. The organization also participates in legal efforts to affirm that teaching creationism in public schools is unconstitutional and helps communities resist policies that could promote miseducation. Positioned in the public policy sphere, NCSE seeks to influence how science is taught through policy work and professional development. In 2026, it expanded its offerings with the My COAST program for Climate-Oriented Authentic Science Teaching, delivered in Galveston, Texas, in collaboration with Texas A&M University.
