Overview
Anti Racism Inquiry Science Education: Opportunities for a Preservice Education Network (ARISE OPEN) is a collaboration among the Berkeley Teacher Education Program (BTEP) leadership team, learning scientists at the Berkeley School of Education, and BTEP teachers. The partnership will co-design customizable curriculum units that integrate standards-aligned STEM topics in local social justice issues and foster equity- and justice-centered teaching practices. Teachers will be supported through a series of workshops and the BTEP STEM Methods course to jointly localize these units for their students and to engage in research cycles to refine the units and teaching practices. This will lead to a library of open curriculum units and teaching practices that can be customized for specific contexts by future student teachers and teachers, fostering the BTEP equity- and justice-centered pedagogy across pre-college classrooms.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Political Psychology of American Democracy project
The Goldman School of Public Policy (GSPP) at UC Berkeley is a graduate school that engages in research and analysis while also training students to deploy a broad toolkit for problem-solving. This grant supports GSPP’s Political Psychology of American Democracy project, which will launch a three-wave national public opinion study that tracks and analyzes the public’s political attitudes, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors toward democracy.
for support of the CEGA Global Networks Program
The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) at the University of California at Berkeley works to produce rigorous evidence about what works to expand education, health, and economic opportunities for people living in poverty. This grant supports CEGA’s set of interconnected activities, including hosting fellowships for social scientists from East and West Africa, organizing convenings that connect African scholars to global networks of faculty and Ph.D. students for mentorship and collaboration, and increasing access to research, dissemination, and policy engagement opportunities for African researchers.
