	GET LIT IN-SCHOOL PROGRAM: AS PART OF OUR ONGOING WORK TO DISMANTLE SYSTEMIC BARRIERS TO SUCCESS FOR OUR STUDENTS, THIS YEAR WE EXPANDED OUR IN-SCHOOL PROGRAM TO INCLUDE AN ADVANCED, FULL YEAR COURSE FOR GRADES 9-12, UTILIZING OUR "WORDS IGNITE" TEXTBOOK. THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA HAS APPROVED THIS COURSE AS AN "A-G" PROVIDER, SATISFYING BOTH THE "G" GENERAL ELECTIVE CREDIT AS WELL AS THE "B" ENGLISH CREDIT. "A-G" COURSES ARE PRE-REQUISITES TO ATTEND CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITIES. THIS IS A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT AS STUDENTS IN UNDER-RESOURCED AREAS ARE OFTEN NOT ABLE TO GET THE CREDITS THEY NEED TO GRADUATE AND ATTEND COLLEGE BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH OF THESE COURSES ARE OFFERED AT THEIR HIGH SCHOOLS. FURTHERMORE, BECAUSE OF ITS TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS IN ENGAGING STUDENTS WHO ARE AT RISK OF MISSING AN ON-TIME GRADUATION, THE LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL BOARD HAS APPROVED OUR CURRICULUM AS A CERTIFIED INTERVENTION COURSE FOR 9TH AND 10TH GRADE. IN ADDITION TO GAINING KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY IN AN ARTISTIC GENRE, WITH GET LIT ACTING AS A VEHICLE FOR DISENFRANCHISED YOUTH TO FIND THEIR VOICE, OUR STUDENTS GAIN CONFIDENCE TRANSFERABLE TO EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES, WHETHER ACADEMIC COURSEWORK, COMMUNITY AND FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, OR CAREER POSSIBILITIES. GET LIT MEETS UNDER-RESOURCED YOUTH WHERE THEY ARE, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND DEVELOPMENTALLY, GIVING THEM A STRAIGHTFORWARD, STEP-BY-STEP ENTRY INTO LITERACY AND SELF-EXPRESSION, AND HELPING THEM REMOVE BARRIERS TO LEARNING AND SUCCESS. OUR STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO EXPLORE A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS AND ISSUES THAT HAVE MEANING AND IMPACT IN THEIR LIVES, FROM THE CORNERS OF BEAUTY IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, TO DEEP EMOTIONS, TO ISSUES OF SOCIAL JUSTICE. STUDENTS BEGIN BY IMPROVING THEIR READING COMPREHENSION, VOCABULARY, AND WRITING SKILLS; THEN BLOSSOM INTO SHAPING CRITICAL THINKING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING ABILITIES; DEEPENING COMMUNICATION METHODS AND IMPROVING TEAMWORK ABILITIES; DEVELOPING GREATER SELF-EFFICACY; AND BUILDING VITAL SOCIAL SKILLS ROOTED IN SELF-AWARENESS, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, AND COMPASSION. GET LIT SUPPORTS STUDENTS' PROFICIENCY IN LANGUAGE ARTS, FACILITATING SCHOOL ENGAGEMENT AND RETENTION, ON-TIME GRADUATION, AND COLLEGE READINESS. BY DEEPLY CONSIDERING EMOTIONAL ISSUES AND SOCIAL CAUSES OF IMPORTANCE TO THEM, OUR STUDENTS BECOME MORE CONFIDENT IN THEIR ABILITY TO AFFECT CHANGE IN THEIR LIVES AND IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.A FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENT OF OUR IN-SCHOOL PROGRAM IS THE LONG-TERM, SUSTAINED PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CLASSROOM TEACHERS AND GET LIT TEACHING ARTISTS AND STAFF THROUGH OUR TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. GET LIT OFFERS 12 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT HOURS PER TEACHER PER YEAR, FOR AN AVERAGE OF 250 TEACHERS. CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS FOR THESE SESSIONS ARE PROVIDED THROUGH CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, EAST BAY. SCHOOL PARTNERS RECEIVE CUSTOMIZED MENTOR VISITS AND INDIVIDUAL COACHING FOR TEACHERS, AS WELL AS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS. THIS INCLUDES OUR ANNUAL DAY LONG POETIC CONVERGENCE, IN WHICH TEACHERS ARE TRAINED IN GET LIT'S METHODS AND PHILOSOPHY, AND IN HOW TO EFFECTIVELY USE OUR UNIQUE CURRICULUM.THE IN-SCHOOL PROGRAM HAS BEEN THE FOUNDATION OF OUR PROGRAM DELIVERY FOR 13 YEARS, GROWING FROM 3 TO 110 SCHOOLS SERVED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. OUR STAFF ADMINISTERS STUDENT AND TEACHER SURVEYS AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE SEMESTER. IN ADDITION TO ARTISTIC SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE, SURVEYS ARE STRUCTURED TO MEASURE RETENTION RATES, ENGAGEMENT, AND OVERALL DEPTH OF LEARNING. THIS YEAR, 97% OF TEACHERS REPORTED SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN STUDENTS' ATTENDANCE AND GRADES AFTER PARTICIPATION. 90% OF STUDENTS SAID THAT GET LIT MADE THEM MORE INTERESTED IN READING, WRITING, AND PERFORMING POETRY. 100% WOULD RECOMMEND GET LIT TO PEERS. WE ALSO COLLECT INFORMATION ON THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO REMAIN IN SCHOOL, GRADUATE, AND ATTEND COLLEGE. SINCE 2006, NEARLY 100% OF OUR ADVANCED STUDENTS HAVE RAISED THEIR GPA IN HIGH SCHOOL, GRADUATED, AND HAVE ATTENDED COLLEGE. OVER 75% HAVE RECEIVED SCHOLARSHIPS TO PREMIER LEARNING INSTITUTIONS.

	GET LIT CLASSIC SLAM: NOW IN ITS 9TH YEAR, THIS THREE-DAY CULTURAL EVENT IS THE ONLY TEEN POETRY COMPETITION IN THE NATION TO COMBINE RECITATION OF CLASSIC POEMS WITH ORIGINAL STUDENT RESPONSE POEMS. IT TAKES PLACE ANNUALLY IN APRIL DURING NATIONAL POETRY MONTH, BRINGING TOGETHER DIVERSE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA YOUTH WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN OUR RIGOROUS IN-SCHOOL PROGRAM. IN APRIL 2019, 350 STUDENTS FROM 50 SCHOOLS PERFORMED FOR OVER 6,500 AUDIENCE MEMBERS. STUDENTS FACED OFF TO "SLAM" CLASSIC POEMS BY POETS SUCH AS NERUDA, LORCA, HUGHES, DICKINSON, AND COUNTLESS OTHERS, IN COMBINATION WITH THEIR OWN SPOKEN WORD RESPONSES. THE CLASSIC SLAM UNITES OUR STUDENTS WITH THEIR IDOLS - POETIC AND ENTERTAINMENT LUMINARIES FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. COMPETING SCHOOL TEAMS ARE JUDGED BY LEADING WRITERS, ACTORS, AND ARTISTS IN TWO OF LOS ANGELES' MOST GRAND AND ICONIC VENUES: THE LOS ANGELES THEATRE CENTER (QUARTER- AND SEMI-FINALS) AND THE THEATRE AT THE ACE HOTEL (FINALS). THE 2019 HOST WAS AUTHOR AND HIP-HOP ARTIST GEORGE WATSKY, WITH CELEBRITY JUDGES INCLUDING DIRECTOR CARLOS LPEZ ESTRADA, AND SPOKEN WORD ARTISTS OLIVIA GATWOOD, SAM SAX, AND RUDY FRANCISCO.

THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THEY HONED THEIR SKILLS THROUGH 400 HOURS OF WORKSHOPS AND PERFORMANCES, INCLUDING ASSEMBLY-STYLE "BLITZ" PERFORMANCES IN HIGH SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT LOS ANGELES COUNTY, INSPIRING A PEER AUDIENCE OF 50,000 AS ROLE MODELS FOR ARTISTIC EXPRESSION, AND SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. IN NOVEMBER, 2018, GET LIT POETS ORGANIZED AND PERFORMED AT A TRANS RIGHTS MARCH TO L.A. CITY HALL THAT GATHERED OVER 1,000 MARCHERS. IN SEPTEMBER, MEMBERS OF THE GET LIT PLAYERS PERFORMED THEIR ORIGINAL POETRY AT THE UNITED NATIONS' 73RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN NEW YORK CITY FOR PEACE DAY AS PART OF THE GLOBAL MOVEMENT "UNITED VOICES FOR PEACE." FOR MANY, THIS WAS THEIR FIRST TIME TO TRAVEL BY PLANE. VANESSA TAHAY, AN UNDOCUMENTED GET LIT POET, WAS FEATURED IN A STORY ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE L.A.

MAYOR ERIC GARCETTI'S "DAYS OF COMPASSION" HOMELESS RESOURCES EVENT. MANY GET LIT PLAYERS RETURN TO GET LIT AFTER GRADUATION TO SERVE AS COACHES FOR OUR YOUNG POETS.LITERARY LEADERSHIP CORE AND LITERARY RIOTTWO OF OUR PROGRAMS ARE ABLE TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT STUDENTS BOTH WITHIN HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND GRADUATION: LITERATI LEADERSHIP CORE AND LITERARY RIOT. OUR LITERATI LEADERSHIP CORE PROGRAM PROVIDES FELLOWS WITH A MODEL AND TRAINING TO OBTAIN JOBS IN HIGH-DEMAND SECTORS, ESTABLISH A LASTING NETWORK OF SUPPORT AND PROFESSIONAL CONNECTIONS, AND DEVELOP THE NECESSARY TECHNICAL AND LIFE SKILLS TO SUCCEED IN THE WORKPLACE. LITERATI RECEIVE INDIVIDUALIZED COACHING AND MENTORSHIP BY GET LIT STAFF, TEACHING ARTISTS, AND PROMINENT CIVIC AND ARTISTIC LEADERS, AS WELL AS ON-THE-JOB TRAINING AND APPRENTICESHIP OPPORTUNITIES. IN ADDITION TO JOB-SPECIFIC SKILLS, LITERATI LEARN HOW TO FORMAT THEIR RESUME, PREPARE FOR INTERVIEWS, MASTER WORKPLACE ETIQUETTE, AS WELL AS LIFE SKILLS SUCH AS ACCOUNTABILITY, TIMELINESS, AND MANAGING A BUDGET. GET LIT TRACKS THE LITERATI FELLOWS' PROGRESS AND SUCCESS IN SEEKING AND MAINTAINING EMPLOYMENT AND REMAINS A CONSTANT AND STABLE RESOURCE AS THEY ENTER THE WORKFORCE. OUR LITERARY RIOT PROGRAM, A YOUTH-LED PRODUCTION COMPANY, IS VIBRANT CAREER-BUILDING SOCIAL ENTERPRISE. FOCUSED ON POSTSECONDARY CAREER DEVELOPMENT IN THE ENTERTAINMENT AND MEDIA FIELDS, THIS PROGRAM HAS OPENED UP A WORLD OF PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND JOB TRAINING FOR OUR UNDER-RESOURCED YOUTH, INCLUDING LOW-INCOME STUDENTS OF COLOR AND FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS. LITERARY RIOT'S STANDARDS ALIGN WITH THE USC ANNENBERG INCLUSION INITIATIVE, WHICH STUDIES AND PROMOTES DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN HONORED AND SUPPORTED BY THE HOLLYWOOD FOREIGN PRESS ASSOCIATION (PRODUCERS OF THE GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS). ALL MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN GET LIT'S TWO-YEAR COURSE IN INDEPENDENT FILMMAKING IN WHICH THEY LEARN AND IMPLEMENT EVERYTHING FROM DEVELOPMENT TO DISTRIBUTION, INCLUDING WRITING, PRODUCTION, AND POST.
