My Nonprofit Reviews

My colleagues and I are helping to lead our entire English department into a venture with new curriculum and a new workshop structure. To do this, we wanted to be as versed as possible in workshop structure and how to use it to most equitably serve our students. We applied for a LEEF grant to attend the wonderful annual conference held by the National Council for Teachers of English and the Assembly on Literature for Adolescents of NCTE. We were able to get funding to attend this conference to learn about how to implement new best practices, how to promote and sustain equitable workshop teaching, and how to support students with high-interest and complex young adult literature. We are so grateful for this opportunity to become better teachers, help our colleagues develop their practices, and benefit our students with more rigorous and relevant teaching!
