Mission Statement
Because literacy affects all aspects of how we live and learn, the mission of the Wake Forest Center for Literacy Education is to create, support, and promote collaborative partnerships that bring literacy to life through campus and community engagement.
Four primary objectives guide this effort:
- Cultivate interdisciplinary partnerships and professional learning opportunities among faculty and staff that support innovative and experiential teaching, learning, research, creative activities, and community engagement across literacy categories.
- Encourage teacher and student engagement in the field of literacy education through coursework, fieldwork, research, professional learning, global study, and community service.
- Support collaboration among Wake Forest faculty, staff, and students and literacy education stakeholders in and beyond Winston-Salem/Forsyth County.
- Develop a consortium of college and university literacy centers to help foster community and share research and best practices.
