English Language Arts
Our program centers students' identities and lived experiences, helping you create space for students to explore complex ideas about self, society, and human behavior.
Coming of Age in a Complex World
Developed for grades 6–12, this modular collection invites students to explore the complexity of identity and develop a sense of agency as they reflect on what it means to grow up in the world today.
Identity and Storytelling
Designed for students in grades 8-10, this text set includes lesson plans and multi-genre texts for a 1–2 week unit exploring the essential question, "What makes me, me?"

All Community Read
We have selected Judith Heumann’s memoir, Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist, and its companion young adult adaptation, Rolling Warrior, as the texts for our All Community Read. Throughout the year, we will be hosting events and sharing resources that will support educators as they bring Heumann’s story into their classrooms.
“This is the most useful, inspiring, and empowering workshop I have ever taken. The positive energy and support of the facilitators empowered me to use my voice.”
