A Community for Secondary ELA Teachers
Our mission
“We launch The Lit Syllabus in response to conversations around political debates about CRT, AP African American Studies, and generally what classroom syllabi can and can’t include. The Lit Syllabus is designed for our community of fellow educators who want to collaborate and develop classrooms that disrupt the status quo through culturally responsive practices, complex texts with diverse perspectives, and student centered tasks. ”
