Our mission is to better understand teaching and learning across arts and humanities fields and support educators in their quest toward excellence. We do this through our research on languages, texts, and cultures within and across boundaries of difference. We do this in our collaborations with teachers, promising new insights into curricular design, pedagogy, and creative assessments aimed at engaging all learners. Finally, we do this in our work with families, communities, and schools, investing quality efforts toward the advancement of language and literacy within the academy and beyond.
