The Teachers College Literacy Center

Literacy is the gateway to success in life

The Teachers College Literacy Center

Literacy begins at birth and continues throughout adulthood. Literacy encompasses all modes of language: reading writing, speaking, listening, viewing, and visually representing. All six modes will be instrumental in the practices of The Teachers College Literacy Center. Literacy develops through engagement and discussion; that is, meaning is paramount.

Strategic Focus

The Teachers College Literacy Center's vision is “All Kansans Can Read” and its mission is to “serve Kansans with support in literacy from birth through adulthood."

AmeriCorps

The center was awarded the AmeriCorps Planning Grant for the 2022-23 academic year. In 2023-24 the center was awarded the AmeriCorps Operational Grant. This allows Emporia State student AmeriCorps members to provide early literacy intervention activities at local preschools. The members receive a living allowance and they will receive a Segal Education Award upon successful completion of their AmeriCorps term.
