Research and Tools

Oakland Starting Smart and Strong and our partners are researching, developing, and testing solutions that support parents, caregivers, and educators as they prepare children for a lifetime of learning.

We support a research justice framework that centers community voice and leadership in data collection and analysis and recognizes community members as experts who own knowledge and information about their communities.
 
On these pages we list resources and research we’ve funded, as well as other great sources of information and tools that help us all nurture the next generation.
