Purposeful Literacy

Purposeful Literacy connects the sciences of reading and learning with culturally sustainable practice. Founded by Heather Blackwell, PhD, the work includes research, professional learning, consulting, courses, and speaking for educators, school and district leaders, researchers, and families.
This channel explores adolescent and transdisciplinary literacy, Black education, multilingual learners, foundational literacy, teacher learning, and practical ways to make evidence-informed instruction more humanizing. It also features Blackwell’s LILACS Framework for Culturally Sustainable Pedagogy and Targeted Assistance Plans.
