ABSTRACT
This chapter presents three cases that offer specific examples for implementing funds of knowledge into higher education pedagogy. The first is an example of a college outreach program that operates from a funds of knowledge framework and incorporates weekly workshops delivered through a funds of knowledge pedagogical lens. The second is a rationale and proposed process for collecting and integrating funds of knowledge into community college classrooms. And the third case is an example of utilizing existing pedagogical tools found in participatory action research methods to integrate funds of knowledge into higher education classrooms. The goals of utilizing funds of knowledge as a culturally responsive pedagogy are to foster student success in a familiar and collective manner while also challenging larger social issues. Participatory action research, like culturally responsive pedagogy, is itself an ideology representing a paradigmatic shift.
