The Mount Saint Mary College Collaborative for Equity In Literacy Learning (CELL) is one of four centers for excellence at Mount Saint Mary College. CELL is housed within the Division of Education, located in Hudson Hall on the main campus of Mount Saint Mary College. Efforts of the center are led by Division of Education faculty in concert with both graduate and undergraduate students and various community stakeholders.

Our Mission

CELL’s mission is to actively conduct research that has a direct impact on classroom literacy instruction and the preparation of teachers of literacy, and that provides support and outreach to teachers, schools, and other stakeholders who have the goal of promoting literacy equity in the surrounding communities.

Specific goals of the Center include:

  • Provide an institutional and professional community for faculty, students, and administrators to conduct and promote applied research focused on high quality literacy instruction and the preparation of teachers of literacy
  • Provide outreach for PreK-12 educational communities and parents/caregivers across the region that will promote high quality, research supported, reading and writing instruction
  • Develop and foster partnerships with diverse stakeholders to support creative and innovative ways to solve practical problems facing teachers and schools throughout the region
  • Provide high quality literacy instruction to PreK-12 students in the surrounding communities

Mount Saint Mary College’s teacher candidates are continuously creating and finding resources from fieldwork experiences that can be shared with teachers.
