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 Impact CFO program at the Center for Social Sector Leadership
This grant supports the creation of the Impact CFO program at the Center for Social Sector Leadership at UC Berkeley. Impact CFO will create a pipeline for senior finance professionals in the social sector who will manage the growing complexity of nonprofit finance, serve on leadership teams, and lead organizations to financial sustainability. Impact CFO is a program of the center whose mission is to prepare a new generation of cross-sector leaders with the practical skills to tackle complex global challenges and achieve social impact.
for support of the Othering and Belonging Institute
The Othering and Belonging Institute (OBI) at the University of California, Berkeley, advances research, policy, and ideas that examine and remediate the processes of exclusion, marginalization, and structural inequality (“othering”) in order to build a world based on inclusion, fairness, justice, and care for the earth (“belonging”). Belonging, as OBI defines it, means having a meaningful voice and the opportunity to participate in the design of political, social, and cultural structures that shape one’s life — the right to both contribute to and make demands upon society and political institutions. At its core, structural belonging holds a radically inclusive vision because it requires mutual power, access, and opportunity among all groups and individuals within a shared container. This grant will enable OBI to deepen its efforts.
for support of Just Education Policy: An Institute for Developing Scholars
Just Education Policy: An Institute for Developing Scholars is a research collaborative at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Education. It brings together education policy researchers who are committed to preparing and supporting early-career scholars of education policy. This program grant will enable and support the growth of this institute. (Strategy: K-12 Teaching and Learning)
