What literature can and should do is change the people who teach the people who don't read books. The California Reading and Literature Project at UCLA cordially invites you to join us this summer for a wide array of workshops and institutes for teachers and students. Student reading and appreciation of literature can be improved by improving the teaching of reading and literature. All students are entitled to equal access to knowledge.
All students can achieve.
A multicultural education enriches our students. Teachers of reading and literature must read literature. What is known about the teaching of reading and literature comes not only from research but from the practice of those who teach. Cadre members will share best practices and pedagogy, develop effective presentations on reading and literature, and learn how to coach and mentor other teachers at school sites. Teachers will have opportunities to meet as a whole group and to break out in elementary and secondary groups.
