Along with monthly learning sessions focused on sections of the education system in Arizona and racial equity, teams within the fellowship completed projects related to challenges within the education system. Our group researched, created, designed, and put together a book of resources for caregivers and students related to the main social determinants of education: food, housing, mental and physical health, community, and clothing. While many resource books exist, this book is dual-language, has a glossary of terms, breaks down how to get help step-by-step per resource/organization, lists "side effects" of each determinant so people do not self-select out of help that would be beneficial to them, focuses on resources that are available within walking distance of the selected school district and/or on public transit lines, and used suggestions from real teachers and school resource officers to create a tool that would actually be helpful for real families.
