Inside the Making of Get Lit’s New Curriculum Videos

June 30, 2023

Take a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the making of our brand-new curriculum videos made possible through the generous support of the NBA Foundation!

These videos, which act as peer to peer learning in classrooms, allow students a chance to see themselves represented. We’re so excited to add them to our roster of classroom resources that help teachers engage their students through poetry. There are also corresponding videos for educators that guide teachers through the learning process simultaneously. Plus, each of these videos will be available to every single teacher that uses our Words Ignite curriculum – for free!

Written, filmed, shot, and starring youth artists, these custom videos will become available in 2024! Big thanks to our educators and teaching artists on camera: Laurie Kurnick, Mason Granger, Raul Herrera, Tiffany Snow, and Aman Batra. Plus, special thanks to Mila Cuda, Curriculum Assistant, former Get Lit Poet, and the writer of the incredible scripts. And, of course a huge shoutout to the student poets and stars of the show: Tiffany To, Pluto Saidkariev, and Ollie Mitchell! None of this would be possible without those behind the scenes who assisted in creating a fun environment for shooting: Director Sam Curtis, Media Manager Peter Davis, Production Manager Sofia D’Annunzio, Camera Operator Lukas Lane, Teleprompter and Editor Joseluis Mendoz, and Script Supervisors Shelby Eroen and Ella Zomber!
