This project aims to serve the national interest by improving undergraduate education for future elementary science teachers. The overall goal of this project is to support undergraduate elementary teacher candidates’ learning about science and equitable science teaching. The project plans to achieve this goal by designing learning activities for elementary science methods courses that leverage successful practices from the prior work of the project team, including immersive learning, collaborative planning, and reflection.

(RIA) is a curriculum supplement that promotes language and literacy foundations. The curriculum focuses on building phonological awareness, print knowledge, vocabulary, and narrative skills.
This grant supports an evaluation of the expansion of RIA in the Linden and Whitehall communities to identify an implementation process that (a) creates provider buy-in, (b) supports the fidelity of RIA delivery at a larger (and less cost-intensive) scale, and (c) supports the development of learning communities to enhance and sustain provider implementation and collaboration around RIA practice.

Our project team is partnering with the Ohio Child Care Resource and Referral Association and the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services to evaluate Ohio’s publicly funded child care (PFCC) program. During the nine-month project, we will be analyzing the payment structure for families participating in the program; evaluating the efficacy of alternative Market Rate Survey methodologies; analyzing the utilization rate of families authorized to participate in the program, with rates disaggregated by differing characteristics and demographics; and examining federal funding regulations for the program and permissible supplemental funding streams.
