It is uniquely designed to provide young scholars with opportunities to read books written by authors of African descent. The Center for Black Literature&#8217;s culturally responsive teaching approach engages students, provides social-emotional competence, and advances students&#8217; growth in the Core Curriculum standards for reading, language, writing, and oratory skills.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure that we expose scholars to African American authors, we choose a different genre of fiction or non-fiction each year. Classroom teachers pair with teaching artists and collaborate on using the creative and literary arts to establish a curriculum that inspires students to write and express themselves. They create creative non-fiction, poems, short stories, and skits that are based on the wide array of writing produced by Black authors.<\/p>\n<p>Each June, students participate in a culminating event that showcases the work that they have generated from their participation in ROLL. Faculty, school administrators, peers, and family members attend the closing program in celebration of students&#8217; work. ROLL students also contribute their literary and visual work to an anthology that chronicles their experiences in the program.<\/p>\n<p>Since its founding in 2003, the ROLL program has partnered successfully with the following New York City schools:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bedford Academy High School<\/li>\n<li>Benjamin Banneker Academy<\/li>\n<li>Boys and Girls High School<\/li>\n<li>Brooklyn School for Music and Theatre<\/li>\n<li>Clara Barton High School<\/li>\n<li>East New York Family Academy<\/li>\n<li>High School for Global Citizenship<\/li>\n<li>Medgar Evers College Preparatory School<\/li>\n<li>New Visions Charter High School for the Humanities III<\/li>\n<li>P.S. 375 Jackie Robinson Elementary School<\/li>\n<li>Performing Arts and Technology High School, and others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information on ROLL, email the Center at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:info@centerforblackliterature.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">info@centerforblackliterature.<wbr \/>org<\/a> or via phone at (718) 804-8884 (please leave a message).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\nRevised June 1, 2023.
