Mission Statement
Read the Room is a non-profit pedagogy program which trains PreK-2nd grade teachers in underserved schools how to build their own flexible lesson plans that meet standards, engage students, and are fun to teach. But beyond the classroom, Read the Room engages the community surrounding the school, making the learning experience something every child and adult can participate in. Think of it as an in person Mr. Rogers experience. Without the cardigan.
About This Cause
ead the Room is dedicated to changing the way that the American education system works. We serve Pre-K through 2nd grade classrooms in underserved and low income schools. We train teachers to rethink and redesign their approach to teaching. By putting the students’ community first, children engage with academics in new and stronger ways. Classroom engagement leads to higher grades and academic achievement. Our curriculum specialists familiarize themselves with the classrooms and communities they come in to assist. We have a hands on approach that provides professional development, classroom evaluation, and constant support throughout the school year. We provide new pathways for classrooms to connect to the community and for the community to connect to the classroom through monthly events. We host free monthly community events at local community spaces. We provide food, activities, and support for students and families. These events are hosted by Read the Room team members in collaboration with the Greater Austin Reading Coalition. These events are to meant to empower parents, excite children, and create connections between the classroom and the community.
