INDIGITIZE COMPUTER SCIENCE COALITION -THIS PROJECT SUPPORTS THE BROADENING OF PARTICIPATION OF TRADITIONALLY UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS IN HIGH QUALITY COMPUTER SCIENCE (CS). THE RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE CRITICAL INSIGHTS FOR DEVELOPING AND SCALING CS EXPERIENCES WITH INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS. THE LONG TERM GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS TO EXPAND CS EDUCATION ACCESS FOR AMERICAN INDIAN/ALASKA NATIVE (INDIGENOUS) MIDDLE-SCHOOL STUDENTS, GRADES 6-8. THIS RESEARCHER-PRACTITIONER PARTNERSHIP (RPP), LED BY ONE GENERATION (ONE GEN) AND SUPPORTED BY THE AMERICAN INSTITUTES FOR RESEARCH (AIR) AND THE NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITY ACADEMY (NACA), SEEKS TO ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT DISPARITIES IN CS EDUCATION AMONG INDIGENOUS STUDENTS. BY ADAPTING AND DEVELOPING CULTURALLY RELEVANT CS AND COMPUTATIONAL THINKING (CT) INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, AND TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS, THE PROJECT TEAM WILL HELP ENSURE THAT INDIGENOUS STUDENTS SEE THEIR LANGUAGE, CULTURE, AND VALUES REFLECTED IN THEIR COMPUTING EDUCATION. THE PROJECT BUILDS ON ONE GEN'S SUCCESSFUL INDIGITIZE COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM AND AIR'S NSF-FUNDED WIND RIVER ELEMENTARY COMPUTER SCIENCE COLLABORATIVE, ADDRESSING CRITICAL GAPS IN CS EDUCATION AND CONTRIBUTING VALUABLE INSIGHTS INTO THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF CULTURALLY-RESPONSIVE STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS) K-12 CURRICULA. THE PROJECT FOCUSES ON THREE MAIN OBJECTIVES: (1) CULTURALLY ADAPTING EXISTING CS CONTENT TO CREATE A ONE-SEMESTER FOUNDATIONAL COURSE FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS AT NACA, AIMING TO SERVE 60 STUDENTS; (2) DEVELOPING AND PILOTING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR NACA TEACHERS TO INTEGRATE CULTURALLY SUPPORTIVE CS/CT CONTENT ACROSS VARIOUS SUBJECTS, INCLUDING INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE ARTS, REACHING 8 TEACHERS AND 140 STUDENTS; AND (3) ESTABLISHING THE RESEARCH-PRACTICE PARTNERSHIP (RPP) TO FOSTER COLLABORATION, BUILD RESEARCH CAPACITY, AND LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR SCALING THE PROGRAM TO ADDITIONAL GRADES AND SCHOOLS. THESE OBJECTIVES WILL BE INVESTIGATED VIA THE RESEARCH QUESTION: WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS NECESSARY TO BUILD AN INDIGENOUS CS-FOCUSED RESEARCHER-PRACTITIONER PARTNERSHIP THAT IS COMPRISED OF A NETWORK OF INDIGENOUS CS-FOCUSED SCHOOLS AND PARTNERS? THE PROJECT THEORY OF CHANGE ADDRESSES THREE PRIMARY CHALLENGES IN CS EDUCATION FOR INDIGENOUS YOUTH: ACCESS, QUALITY, AND CULTURE. THE PROJECT'S DESIGN IS GROUNDED IN A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK THAT EMPHASIZES COMMUNITY-LED TRANSFORMATION, CULTURALLY RELEVANT CONTENT, HOLISTIC LEARNING ECOSYSTEMS, AND REFLECTIVE PRACTICE. TO ADDRESS INDIGENOUS STUDENT NEEDS, THE PROJECT TEAM WILL ENGAGE TEACHERS AND SCHOOL LEADERS IN COLLABORATIVE PLANNING TO ENHANCE PROGRAMMATIC GROWTH AND SUPPORT EDUCATORS THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING AND PEER LEARNING. THE PROJECT TEAM WILL INTEGRATE CS LEARNING UNITS ACROSS MULTIPLE TOUCHPOINTS, INCLUDING STAND-ALONE CLASSES AND INTERDISCIPLINARY PROJECTS. BY LEVERAGING HIGH-QUALITY, ADAPTABLE CONTENT LIKE MIT'S SCRATCH TUTORIALS AND FOSTERING A COMMUNITY-ORIENTED APPROACH TO EDUCATION, THE PROJECT AIMS TO CREATE CULTURALLY-RESPONSIVE AND ENGAGING CS EXPERIENCES THAT INSPIRE BOTH TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES ARE DESIGNED TO BE SCALABLE WHILE RETAINING THE FLEXIBILITY FOR COMMUNITY-LED DESIGN AND CULTURAL ADAPTATION, ENSURING THE CS EDUCATION PROVIDED IS BOTH RELEVANT AND IMPACTFUL FOR INDIGENOUS STUDENTS. TO ASCERTAIN THE LEVEL OF SUCCESS, THE PROJECT TEAM WILL USE QUALITATIVE DATA FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES INCLUDING TEACHERS, CLASSROOM LESSON SAMPLES, STUDENTS AND MEMBERS OF THE RPP. FOR EXAMPLE, A SERIES OF SEMI-STRUCTURED TEACHER INTERVIEWS WILL BE ANALYZED USING A COMBINATION OF INDUCTIVE AND DEDUCTIVE CODING. TEACHER CLASSROOM LESSON PLANS AND REFLECTIVE ENACTMENT SURVEYS WILL ALSO BE COLLECTED AT MULTIPLE JUNCTURES DURING THE PROJECT. FINDINGS FROM THESE DATA SOURCES WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE TEACHER IMPLEMENTATION PATTERNS, HIGHLIGHTING BOTH AREAS OF SUCCESS AS WELL AS CHALLENGES. THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED THROUGH THE COMPUTER SCIENCE FOR ALL: RESEARCH AND RPPS PROGRAM. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL ENABLE THE NATIONAL FARM TO SCHOOL NETWORK (NFSN) TO COLLABORATE WITH ESTABLISHED PARTNERS ON THE GROUND IN THREE SCHOOL COMMUNITIES: HARDIN SCHOOL DISTRICT 17H&1 IN CROW RESERVATION, MONTANA; INDIAN TOWNSHIP SCHOOL IN INDIAN TOWNSHIP, MAINE; AND MALAAI KULA IN KAUA'I, HAWAI'I. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL SCALE UP AND INSTITUTIONALIZE CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT FARM TO SCHOOL PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT AND ULTIMATELY IMPROVE THE NUTRITIONAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF NATIVE YOUTH. THIS PROJECT WILL BUILD UPON THE SUCCESS OF NFSN'S PREVIOUS WORK WITH NATIVE COMMUNITIES. WORKING WITH NATIVE PARTNERS, NFSN CONTINUES ADDRESSING THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF EXPANDING AND SUSTAINING FARM TO SCHOOL IN NATIVE COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. FARM TO SCHOOL IS A NEW TERM FOR AN ANCIENT CONCEPT THAT EMBRACES INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE AND VALUES IN HARMONY WITH TRADITIONAL NATIVE LIFEWAYS, AND HAS PROVEN POSITIVE RESULTS ON HEALTH,EDUCATION, AND HUNGER. IN NATIVE COMMUNITIES, FARM TO SCHOOL IS ROOTED IN INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE TO TRANSFORM SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS INTO CENTERS OF CULTURAL EDUCATION. THIS LEARNING TAKES PLACE IN OUTDOOR EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS SUCH AS SCHOOL GARDENS AND ORCHARDS, CULINARY PROGRAMS TEACHING TRADITIONAL FOODWAYS LIKE FORAGING AND PRESERVATION, AND SCHOOL CAFETERIAS SERVING INDIGENOUS FOODS TO EAGER STUDENTS WHO ARE RE-ESTABLISHING RELATIONSHIPS WITH TRADITIONAL FOODS. NFSN'S SEED CHANGE IN NATIVE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM WORKS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL TO EXPAND FARM TO SCHOOL ACTIVITIES (PROCUREMENT OF LOCAL AND TRADITIONAL FOODS, SCHOOL GARDENS, AND AGRICULTURE AND NUTRITION EDUCATION) FOR STUDENTS IN SCHOOL COMMUNITIES SERVING NATIVE AMERICAN YOUTH. NFSN'S SEED CHANGE PROGRAM MODEL IS BASED UPON HONORING LOCAL LEADERSHIP AND AUTONOMY THROUGH CAPACITY BUILDING TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY'S VISION AND TO ENSURE SUSTAINABLE PROGRESS. NFSN'S WORK IS GUIDED BY THE FOLLOWING ESSENTIAL LESSONS:THERE IS NO ONE-SIZE-FITS ALL SOLUTION TO CREATING HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES, AND THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE IN NATIVE COMMUNITIES WHERE CULTURAL CONTEXT MUST BE FULLY INTEGRATED INTO EFFORTS TO ENSURE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS AND LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY.BECAUSE COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS ARE SO DIVERSE, THERE ARE NO BEST PRACTICES FOR FARM TO SCHOOL IN NATIVE COMMUNITIES, BUT THERE ARE SHARED VALUES, INCLUDING:HOMEGROWN SOLUTIONS WORK BEST,SELF-SUFFICIENCY SUPPORTS WHOLE-PERSON AND COMMUNITY HEALTH,LOCAL HERITAGE IS HONORED THROUGH TRADITIONAL FOODS,YOUTH EMPOWERED AS LEADERS IN THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY CREATES LASTING CHANGE,PRACTITIONERS LEARN THROUGH EXPERIENCE, PRIORITIZE RELATIONALITY, AND LEAD THROUGH CULTURE, ANDTRADITIONAL ECONOMIES ARE EMBRACED AS A STRATEGY FOR ADVANCING FOOD SOVEREIGNTY.THE PROPOSED PROJECT UPLIFTS CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT FARM TO SCHOOL PROGRAMS AS A STRATEGY TO IMPROVE THE WELLNESS OF NATIVE YOUTH. FARM TO SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ENRICH THE CONNECTION COMMUNITIES HAVE WITH HEALTHY FOOD AND LOCAL FOOD PRODUCERS BY ENHANCING FOOD PURCHASING AND EDUCATION PRACTICES AT SCHOOLS. IT IS WELL ESTABLISHED THROUGH RESEARCH BY NFSN AND OUR PARTNERS THAT FARM TO SCHOOL INFLUENCES INVESTMENT POLICIES AND PRACTICES OF SCHOOLS RESULTING IN EQUITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO HEALTHY COMMUNITIES.

ONE GENERATION'S INDIGENOUS FARM HUB (IFH) IS A COMMUNITY-BASED INITIATIVE SERVING CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO THAT TEACHES INDIGENOUS FARMING TECHNIQUES, FOSTERS FOOD, CULTURAL, AND LAND SOVEREIGNTY WITHIN INDIGENOUS AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITIES, PROVIDES TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IN DEVELOPING BUSINESS AND MARKETING PLANS, AND ENGAGES NEW AND BEGINNING FARMERS IN WORK TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE, HEALTHY FOOD ACROSS AREAS THAT ARE TRADITIONALLY UNDERSERVED AND MARGINALIZED. THROUGH THIS PROJECT, WE WILL CONDUCT RESEARCH IN THE FORM OF ASSESSMENTS THROUGH PARTNER OUTREACH, COMMUNITY FORUMS, AND DIRECT ENGAGEMENT WITH THE NAVAJO NATION AREAS OF SHIPROCK AND SURROUNDING CHAPTERS INCLUDING NENAHNEZAD IN SAN JUAN COUNTY, CRYSTAL IN MCKINLEY COUNTY, AND RURAL AREAS OF SANDOVAL COUNTY, IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES WHICH EXPERIENCE FOOD SCARCITY AND INSTABILITY, ALONG WITH LIMITED DISTRIBUTION MARKETS. THIS RESEARCH WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A FEASIBILITY STUDY THAT WILL HELP US DETERMINE THE POSSIBLE BEST PRACTICES FOR IMPROVED FOOD DISTRIBUTION AT A REGIONAL LEVEL, RESULTING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY-SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE (CSA) DISTRIBUTION AND MARKETING PLAN, INCLUDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR VALUE-ADDED AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION. OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO CREATE AN INFLUX OF TRAINED AND SUPPORTED FARMERS THROUGHOUT NEW MEXICO, WITH OUTCOMES INCLUDING FIRST DEVELOPING NEW MARKET OPPORTUNITIES FOR FARM AND RANCH OPERATIONS SERVING LOCAL MARKETS; THEN ESTABLISHING AND EXPANDING A LOCAL FOOD BUSINESS ENTERPRISETHROUGH DEVELOPMENT OF A COOPERATIVE REGIONAL CSA NETWORK THAT CONNECTS AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES IN CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO, AND, FINALLY, IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTHY AND FRESH FOODS IN COMMUNITIES THAT ARE UNDER-RESOURCED.

ONE GENERATION WILL CONDUCT A REGIONAL FOOD SYSTEM ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING PROJECT IN CENTRAL AND NORTHWESTERN NEW MEXICO. THE FOCUS GEOGRAPHIES OF SAN JUAN AND SANDOVAL COUNTIES ARE CULTIVATED BY PUEBLO, NAVAJO/DINÉ, AND UTE TRIBES. MORE THAN ONE-FOURTH OF THE POPULATION IS AMERICAN INDIAN OR ALASKA NATIVE ALONE (COMPARED TO 1.1% OF THE U.S.). THE MAJORITY OF INDIGENOUS PRODUCERS IN THE REGION IDENTIFY FARMING AS A PRIMARY INCOME SOURCE, BUT 98% OF INDIGENOUS OPERATIONS IN NEW MEXICO HAVE ANNUAL SALES UNDER $25,000. FURTHERMORE, JUST 6% OF THE PRODUCERS IN FOCUS COUNTIES SOLD DIRECTLY TO CONSUMERS; HOWEVER, THE DISPARITIES BY RACE ARE STARKER WITH 3% OF AI/AN PRODUCERS VERSUS 11% OF WHITE PRODUCERS. THIS SPEAKS TO A BROADER ISSUE: NEW MEXICO IMPORTS 90% OF ITS FOOD AND EXPORTS 97% OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. FINALLY, A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF THIS REGION QUALIFIES AS LOW-INCOME AND/OR HAS LIMITED ACCESS TO FRESH, HEALTHY, AND AFFORDABLE PRODUCE AND IT HAS BEEN FIRMLY ESTABLISHEDTHAT LOW-INCOME FAMILIES ARE MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE FOOD INSECURITY AND POORER CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS AS A RESULT OF DIET. NATIVE AMERICANS IN NEW MEXICO ARE 300% MORE LIKELY THAN NON-HISPANIC WHITES IN NEW MEXICO TO HAVE DIABETES AND 172% MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE OBESITY. A FRACTURED FOOD SYSTEM WITH FEW ORGANIZED COLLECTIVE RESOURCES SERVES THIS REGION'S POPULATION OF ABOUT 270,000.ONE GENERATION WILL PERFORM A COMMUNITY FOOD SECURITY ASSESSMENT, WITH A FOCUS ON UNDERSTANDING BARRIERS TO FOOD ACCESS AMONGST LOW-INCOME AND INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS AND EXISTING/POTENTIAL FOOD SYSTEM RESOURCES. WITH PARTNERS INCLUDING THE UNITED WAY OF CENTRAL NEW MEXICO, INDIAN PUEBLO CULTURAL CENTER, NOTAH BEGAY III FOUNDATION, AND THE NEW MEXICO FARMERS MARKET ASSOCIATION, AS WELL AS LOW-INCOME AND INDIGENOUS PARTICIPANTS, ONE GENERATION WILL FORM A STATEWIDE INDIGENOUS FOOD COUNCIL AND CO-CREATE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABLE AND COMPREHENSIVE FOOD SYSTEMS INTERVENTIONS TO COMBAT FOOD INSECURITY, MONITOR RESPONSIVENESS OF SERVICES, AND ADDRESS UNDERLYING FACTORS RELATED TO HUNGER AND NUTRITION. PARTNERS WILL ASSESS AND PLAN PROGRAMMING THAT ADVANCES SUSTAINABLE, INDIGENOUS FARMING PRACTICES AND ACCESS TO FOOD BY LOW-INCOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THIS WILL INCLUDE A PRODUCER FOOD HUB IN SANDOVAL COUNTY AND EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL MODELS SUCH AS A MULTI-FARMER CSA, FARMER COOPERATIVE, AND NATIVE AMERICAN FARMERS MARKET.BENEFITS INCLUDE: (1) FOOD ACCESS AND SECURITY CHALLENGES ARE IDENTIFIED; (2) NEW AND EXISTING SECTOR LINKAGES THAT SUPPORT A COMPREHENSIVE RESPONSE TO FOOD SECURITY AND FOOD SOVEREIGNTY NEEDS ARE DOCUMENTED; (3) A COMMUNITY-DEFINED AND COMMUNITY-LED VISION AND VALUES STATEMENT RELATED TO FOOD SYSTEMS AND SOVEREIGNTY IS CREATED AND USED TO IDENTIFY AND ACT ON PRIORITIES; AND (4) THE COMMUNITY HAS A FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT AND PLANS FOR COMMUNITY FOOD PROJECTS THAT SUPPORT HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS, FOOD SECURITY AND NUTRITION, AND SUCCESS OF INDIGENOUS AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS. ULTIMATELY, ONE GENERATION WILL ADVANCE ITS WORK IN BRINGING TOGETHER COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS WITHIN WHOLE FOOD SYSTEMS TO ASSESS OUR COMMUNITIES' STRENGTHS, ESTABLISH LINKAGES, AND CREATE SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS THAT IMPROVE THE SELF-RELIANCE OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON THEIR OWN FOOD NEEDS IN NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO.
