New Grant to Study Hip Hop Making Spaces
Education Professor Brian Gravel and partners Christopher
Wright (an Education Department alum, now a professor at
Drexel University), Eli Tucker-Raymond (TERC), Dionne
Champion (TERC), Amon Millner (Olin College of Engineering),
and Ayana Allen-Handy (Drexel University) received a new
research grant from the NSF's STEM+C program entitled "Using
Culturally Sustaining Learning Environments to Explore
Computational Learning & Identity." This design project will
engage youth from Boston, Philadelphia, and Gary, Indiana in
making activities focused on the five original elements of
hip hop: MCing, DJing, Graffiti, Breakdance, and Knowledge.
The PIs will explore how youth, in doing these activities,
develop computational practices for learning in STEM and the
influence that has on their STEM identities. |

Congratulations to the School Psychology Program
The School Psychology program has been awarded a four year
training grant from the United States
Health Resources and Services Administration.
The grant (an award of $533,000) will fund the Tufts
University Behavioral Health Enhanced School-based Training
(BHEST) initiative. Jackie Dejean, Assistant Dean of
Research, noted that Tufts is one of 136 programs selected
nation wide to promote health and health equity by funding
innovative training programs. BHEST proposed a unique
supervisory model for behavioral health training in schools
that places school psychology interns in integrated
behavioral health training positions in underserved
communities in the greater Boston area. Over the next four
years, 30 BHEST interns will work in schools in Boston,
Lawrence, Cambridge, and Lowell and will participate in a
collaborative training model with field-based school
psychologists and school nurses, and with Tufts School
Psychology faculty. According to Laura Rogers, a Co-Director
of the School Psychology and the BHEST project director,
there is an increasing need for schools to promote
behavioral health for all students, and preparing interns to
do so in a collaborative, interdisciplinary model with
school nurses will integrate and advance initiatives
occurring in schools and will enhance the behavioral health
skills of our graduate students. The grant will be used to
support the interns through stipends, and to provide
professional development and support for behavioral health
initiatives. |

The Education Department has added a course to the fall semester...
ED 189 The Role of "Story" in Education - Linda Beardsley
The Education Department has added
a course to the fall semester course offerings. This trailer
provides a glimpse into the themes of the course and the
ways it can help students think about their own education
"story," their intellectual narrative, as they envision
their future.
