SchYPAR Contributors
Key partners and co-learners in the YPAR work that contributes to this website are the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD), represented by Nick D’Amico and former members Josh Terchek, Matt Linick, and Bill Stencil; the American Institutes for Research (AIR), represented by Sarah Peko-Spicer and Elisabeth Davis; and the Educational Service Center of Northeast Ohio, represented by Wendy Jovan and Bill Wagner and former member Dennis Kowalski.
Two teams of educators and students have engaged in design work that contributes to this resource. One helped design school-based YPAR in Cleveland through an initiative called Project HighKEY (High-school Knowledge and Education through YPAR) and includes Karmel Abutaleb, Sarah Schwab, Drew Retherford, Taylor Zepp and former members Alison Fiorucci, Rie Fortin, Josiah Holt, Robyn Mwila, Sarah Spinelli, Milena Wick, Robyn Williams, Akia Evans, Madyson Hendrix, Taylor Hostetter, Wali Maxwell, Ruben Rivera Quinones, Joshua Sanchez, and Jayleen Santos. Project HighKEY is an initiative of the Cleveland Alliance for Education Research (CAER), a research-practice partnership of the Center for Urban Education at CSU, CMSD, and AIR.
A second helped design SchYPAR in more than two dozen school districts in Northeast and Central Ohio and included Jennifer Bill, Able Binyam, Lynden Bryant, Henry Clay, Jack Conrath, Gray Cooper, Karla Eberhardt, Tamya Ellis, Mohamed Elsayed, Aden Ewing, Nandi Grant, Andrew Huffman, Essence Jackson, Braylan James, Taliyah Kent, Caroline Kuiken, Sophie Marblestone, Lynn Monaco, Mia Neil, Katie O’Shaughnessy, Ramsey Piazza, Khiara Rice, Steve Shapiro, Amada Stanoszek, Harini Subramanian, and Joanne Williams.
Lastly, hundreds of students and educators over the past several years have helped shape this SchYPAR resource through their work, ideas, and energies through several YPAR initiatives: the First Ring Student Leadership Institute of the Educational Service Center of Northeast Ohio, the Student Leadership Research Collaborative of the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio, and Project HighKEY of CAER.
