Pre-Texts is a train-the-trainers pedagogy developed by the Cultural Agents Initiative at Harvard University, and available to outside partners through Cultural Agents, Inc. The methodology combines three complementary goals of holistic education: high-order literacy, innovation, and citizenship.The simple protocol of Pre-Texts turns educators into facilitators for student-centered learning. Unlike conventional pedagogy (in which teachers pose questions and know answers), here the students formulate their own questions to a text and then speculate about possible responses. They also "go off on tangents' to connect independent reading with classroom texts. The program achieves "close reading" by stimulating a range of interpretations. It fosters autonomy and collaboration by students who re-purpose texts and other materials for participatory, eco-friendly, learning.The approach adjusts to the tastes and talents of participants who explore difficult texts as points of departure, pretexts for making art (painting, music, dance, theater, writing, technology, fashion, photography, cooking etc.). As artists, students become users of challenging vocabulary, grammar and concepts in any field, often exploring their personal feelings and concerns. Original work by other students awakens admiration among classmates and sets the ground for good citizenship. 150553 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 MA X Jose Luis Falconi 6172708945 259 Webster St 1 East Boston MA 02128 Jose Luis Falconi President 40.00 X X 45000 0 0 Santiago Montoya Treasurer 10.00 X 0 0 0 Doris Sommer Director 5.00 X 0 0 0 Gabriela Poma Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pedro Alonzo Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gediminas Urbonas Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marco Abarca Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ilma Paixao Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 Javier Parada Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eileen De Los Reyes Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 Benjamin Juarez Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 45000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 250600 250600 Pre-Texts Workshops 611710 30267 30267 30267 280867 30267 0 0 45000 45000 368 368 2795 2795 2425 2425 11897 11897 Program/Workshop Expens 93656 93656 156141 150553 5588 0 346327 471053 346327 471053 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 346327 471053 346327 471053 346327 471053 124726 0 X 0 0 0 X 263000 22500 250000 250600 786100 263000 22500 250000 250600 786100 0 0 0 786100 263000 22500 250000 250600 786100 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Mexico 0 0 Program Services Pre-texts Workshop 24000 India 0 0 Program Services Pre-texts Workshop 300 Colombia 0 0 Program Services Pre-texts Workshop 22000 0 0 0 0 0 0 46300 0 46300 0 0 0 0 0 0 Part III Accounting Method: Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b A copy of the form 990 was sent to each member of the governing body for review prior to filing.
