This unique project brought together GSE faculty in Elementary Education and Language Education, K-5 teachers from five GSE-CSPN Partner Districts, and members from five CBOs as CEAR Education Project Fellows. Our first efforts focused on community-building and professional development to collaboratively identify key principles and practices of community-engaged anti-racist education. Later, participants worked in six small teams to develop grade-specific curricular units that embrace and employ the CEAR Education Project Principles and Practices. These units were collaboratively developed, piloted by K-5 teachers, and revised for publication and sharing. The CEAR Education Project engaged the participation of school districts and community organizations around Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, all of which are designated as urban and serve economically, racially, and/or ethnically diverse students and families.
