| IRS990/Desc | 0 | GET LIT IN-SCHOOL PROGRAM: AS PART OF OUR ONGOING WORK TO DISMANTLE SYSTEMIC BARRIERS TO SUCCESS FOR OUR STUDENTS, THIS YEAR WE EXPANDED OUR IN-SCHOOL PROGRAM TO INCLUDE AN ADVANCED, FULL YEAR COURSE FOR GRADES 9-12, UTILIZING OUR "WORDS IGNITE" TEXTBOOK. THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA HAS APPROVED THIS COURSE AS AN "A-G" PROVIDER, SATISFYING BOTH THE "G" GENERAL ELECTIVE CREDIT AS WELL AS THE "B" ENGLISH CREDIT. "A-G" COURSES ARE PRE-REQUISITES TO ATTEND CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITIES. THIS IS A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT AS STUDENTS IN UNDER-RESOURCED AREAS ARE OFTEN NOT ABLE TO GET THE CREDITS THEY NEED TO GRADUATE AND ATTEND COLLEGE BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH OF THESE COURSES ARE OFFERED AT THEIR HIGH SCHOOLS. FURTHERMORE, BECAUSE OF ITS TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS IN ENGAGING STUDENTS WHO ARE AT RISK OF MISSING AN ON-TIME GRADUATION, THE LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL BOARD HAS APPROVED OUR CURRICULUM AS A CERTIFIED INTERVENTION COURSE FOR 9TH AND 10TH GRADE. IN ADDITION TO GAINING KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY IN AN ARTISTIC GENRE, WITH GET LIT ACTING AS A VEHICLE FOR DISENFRANCHISED YOUTH TO FIND THEIR VOICE, OUR STUDENTS GAIN CONFIDENCE TRANSFERABLE TO EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES, WHETHER ACADEMIC COURSEWORK, COMMUNITY AND FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, OR CAREER POSSIBILITIES. GET LIT MEETS UNDER-RESOURCED YOUTH WHERE THEY ARE, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND DEVELOPMENTALLY, GIVING THEM A STRAIGHTFORWARD, STEP-BY-STEP ENTRY INTO LITERACY AND SELF-EXPRESSION, AND HELPING THEM REMOVE BARRIERS TO LEARNING AND SUCCESS. OUR STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO EXPLORE A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS AND ISSUES THAT HAVE MEANING AND IMPACT IN THEIR LIVES, FROM THE CORNERS OF BEAUTY IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, TO DEEP EMOTIONS, TO ISSUES OF SOCIAL JUSTICE. STUDENTS BEGIN BY IMPROVING THEIR READING COMPREHENSION, VOCABULARY, AND WRITING SKILLS; THEN BLOSSOM INTO SHAPING CRITICAL THINKING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING ABILITIES; DEEPENING COMMUNICATION METHODS AND IMPROVING TEAMWORK ABILITIES; DEVELOPING GREATER SELF-EFFICACY; AND BUILDING VITAL SOCIAL SKILLS ROOTED IN SELF-AWARENESS, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, AND COMPASSION. GET LIT SUPPORTS STUDENTS' PROFICIENCY IN LANGUAGE ARTS, FACILITATING SCHOOL ENGAGEMENT AND RETENTION, ON-TIME GRADUATION, AND COLLEGE READINESS. BY DEEPLY CONSIDERING EMOTIONAL ISSUES AND SOCIAL CAUSES OF IMPORTANCE TO THEM, OUR STUDENTS BECOME MORE CONFIDENT IN THEIR ABILITY TO AFFECT CHANGE IN THEIR LIVES AND IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.A FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENT OF OUR IN-SCHOOL PROGRAM IS THE LONG-TERM, SUSTAINED PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CLASSROOM TEACHERS AND GET LIT TEACHING ARTISTS AND STAFF THROUGH OUR TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. GET LIT OFFERS 12 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT HOURS PER TEACHER PER YEAR, FOR AN AVERAGE OF 250 TEACHERS. CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS FOR THESE SESSIONS ARE PROVIDED THROUGH CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, EAST BAY. SCHOOL PARTNERS RECEIVE CUSTOMIZED MENTOR VISITS AND INDIVIDUAL COACHING FOR TEACHERS, AS WELL AS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS. THIS INCLUDES OUR ANNUAL DAY LONG POETIC CONVERGENCE, IN WHICH TEACHERS ARE TRAINED IN GET LIT'S METHODS AND PHILOSOPHY, AND IN HOW TO EFFECTIVELY USE OUR UNIQUE CURRICULUM.THE IN-SCHOOL PROGRAM HAS BEEN THE FOUNDATION OF OUR PROGRAM DELIVERY FOR 13 YEARS, GROWING FROM 3 TO 110 SCHOOLS SERVED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. OUR STAFF ADMINISTERS STUDENT AND TEACHER SURVEYS AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE SEMESTER. IN ADDITION TO ARTISTIC SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE, SURVEYS ARE STRUCTURED TO MEASURE RETENTION RATES, ENGAGEMENT, AND OVERALL DEPTH OF LEARNING. THIS YEAR, 97% OF TEACHERS REPORTED SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN STUDENTS' ATTENDANCE AND GRADES AFTER PARTICIPATION. 90% OF STUDENTS SAID THAT GET LIT MADE THEM MORE INTERESTED IN READING, WRITING, AND PERFORMING POETRY. 100% WOULD RECOMMEND GET LIT TO PEERS. WE ALSO COLLECT INFORMATION ON THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO REMAIN IN SCHOOL, GRADUATE, AND ATTEND COLLEGE. SINCE 2006, NEARLY 100% OF OUR ADVANCED STUDENTS HAVE RAISED THEIR GPA IN HIGH SCHOOL, GRADUATED, AND HAVE ATTENDED COLLEGE. OVER |
