Grants and Research

Collaborative Works/Projects (with public schools, community agencies, etc.)

Collaborative research study that examines the journey of preservice teachers (PSTs) and their development of culturally sustaining literacy pedagogy and practice throughout the entire duration of their multiple subject credential program. Focus on Fresno and Sanger Residents, mentor teachers, district staff, and clinical coaches. Co-principal Investigators: Steve Hart, Monica Billen, and Ana K. Soltero Lopez

Collegial Works/Projects (i.e., grants, articles, conference presentations, etc.)

The Enseñamos Initiative is a five-year, Title V Developing Hispanic Serving Institutions (DHSI) funded effort focused on growing our own bilingual Latinx teachers in California’s Central Valley. The Enseñamos Initiative is structured around a purposeful system of support beginning in high school and continuing throughout the teacher candidate’s journey through community college, four-year university teacher education, credential program, and into the teaching profession. Year one of the initiative investigated how a culturally and linguistically sustaining pedagogy (CLSP) shaped various aspects of our grant efforts, from mentoring to faculty development and communities of practice, to cross-institutional collaborations and partnerships. Co-principal Investigators: Patricia D. Lopez, Ana K. Soltero Lopez, and Luz Herrera
