Written By Guest User

CAMDEN, NJ — The Center for Black Educator Development (CBED) will offer a  five-week summer literacy program for elementary school students at Mastery Schools of Camden this summer that offers a culturally-responsive curriculum steeped in Black culture, history and pedagogy.

The Freedom Schools Literacy Academy (FSLA) will be staffed by undergraduate teaching candidates from Rowan University, as well as Mastery High School students who are interested in pursuing a career in education.  

It is designed to provide early elementary students with academic enrichment, while also developing a pipeline of Black educators. Camden Education Fund provided a grant of $132,000 to fund the program.
