Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

The demographics of K-12 public schools in CA have changed dramatically since the 1980s today students of color make up 75% of the student body. Since 1980 the number of White students in the CSU has gone from 70% to just 26.5% in 2015. Ever since the 1980s we have seen a divestment in K-12 and in the CSU. This research will not only describe the crisis in k-12 and higher education schooling but also create the changes needed for a sustainable future. This qualitative study proposes a paradigm shift of INVESTMENT- social justice, multilingualism, learner centered, nepantla, ethnic studies, African Indigenous knowledge, and sentipensante pedagogy in order for all our students to succeed.
