Project LIT

Project LIT Community is led by a team of dedicated educators and students who work together to:

• EMPOWER our students as readers, writers, and leaders

• PROMOTE a love of reading in our schools and communities

• NURTURE authentic reading identities by increasing access to high-quality books, building community, and fostering a sense of belonging

• CHAMPION young people and books that reflect their lived realities, communities, and identities

• ADVOCATE for literacy policies and practices that will build lifelong readers

• SUPPORT AND INSPIRE one another as we improve our practice and pedagogy

• READ, DISCUSS, AND CELEBRATE books that make our students feel seen, heard, affirmed, and valued

• DEVELOP our cultural competence and EXPAND our thinking, regardless of individual starting point

• AMPLIFY voices and stories of students and educators of color

• REWRITE the narrative about which texts and authors are deemed worthy of academic study

• PROVIDE students with as many positive literacy experiences as possible

Wednesdays at 4:00-4:30pm we will have Book Club.
