Spencer Foundation Research-Practice Partnership Grant (9/1/2024-08/31/2027)
This project, funded by Spencer Foundation, will create an infant-toddler childcare and resource hub, the Baby PEACE, at Pontiac High School. The research partner is Oakland University (OU), and the practice partner is the Pontiac School District (PSD). We will also leverage the OU-Pontiac Initiative’s Early Childhood Education’s (OUPIECE) network of community partners. Of vital importance is to co-design Baby PEACE as the partnership’s student teacher practicum site, and as a value-added resource for the community. We incorporate a Culturally-Sustaining Pedagogy (CSP; Paris, 2012), and the epistemological foundations of Critical Participatory Action Research (CPAR; Torres et al, 2012).
Here is an article about Baby PEACE on OU School of Education and Human Services Magazine, CONNECT.
