How dignity shows up
When we talk about improving literacy, we often focus on curriculum, teacher training or fluency rates. All of these matter. But literacy grows inside relationships. A child’s ability to attempt a difficult word, raise a hand or offer an interpretation depends on whether they feel safe, respected and capable.
Over the past several years, we have been exploring how dignity shows up across our programs, from early grade literacy to adolescent life skills. And rather than ask whether our programs create dignity, we’ve asked a quieter question: Where do we see dignity reinforced? How do learners describe themselves? And how does that evolve over time?
