|
|
Partners Achieving Community Transformation (PACT) has been selected to be Ohio States nominee for the 2021 C. Peter Magrath and W.K. Kellogg Foundation Community Engagement Scholarship Awards. PACT earned the nomination through a competitive selection process earlier this year.
PACT is a historic community reinvestment initiative on the Near East Side of Columbus between the City of Columbus, Ohio State and PACTs anchor partner the OSU Wexner Medical Center, and the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority. Since its inception, PACT and its partners defined stakeholders as anyone who lives in, works in, worships in, or loves the Near East Side. In 10 years, PACT has transformed an underserved neighborhood in ways no one could have predicted, making it one of the most remarkable public/private success stories in the country.

Improving math education through shared planning and design
|
|
When you think of math being taught in a classroom, your first thought might be of a teacher standing in front of a class lecturing students. Ohio State's Math Literacy Initiative is changing that concept by empowering students and teachers to create shared experiences together and take co-ownership of learning outcomes. Using a five-step curricular process originating from the Algebra Project, the Math Literacy Initiative focuses on instructional strategies, content knowledge and classroom culture.
