This federal Project Grant award of $174,648.00 was provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) under the Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program (CFDA 45.163). The award supports an institute that will examine K-12 educators' and school reformers' changing conceptions of what constitutes a "good reader" across the 20th century. The institute will trace two competing traditions in reading instruction: one emphasizing literature's role in students' social, moral, and civic development, and the other valuing skill-development and seeing literature as a pathway to scientific, self-disciplined thinking vital to civic good. The institute, scheduled from January 1, 2026 to February 28, 2027, will be hosted by the University of Texas at El Paso, a leading research university and federal contracting partner. Through this award, the institute aims to prepare participating teachers to serve as stronger school leaders and more effective, creative practitioners.
