We Bring Creation to Your Classroom
Inspiring hearts, changing lives
Jason Kelley, CAP’s founder and a Teaching Assistant and PhD student in the Department of Language & Literacy Education at the University of Georgia (UGA), developed the Comic book Creator Classroom in Spring 2024.
CCC is a 9-week English Language Arts (ELA) support program at a Title I school called the Comicbook Creator Classroom (CCC). This program inspired two struggling fourth-grade classes to read, draw, and create their own adventures using their favorite characters and a series of engaging scaffolded class activities.

"The Comicbook Creator Classroom program was an incredible experience for both our students and teachers, and we greatly appreciate the granting organizations that made it possible. I can't say enough about the level of student appreciation and engagement. A program that is fun and increases student literacy, behavior, and engagement definitely needs to be duplicated. The entire school is very appreciative of the opportunities it gave our school community, and I hope Mr. Kelley and the Comicbook Creator Classroom is able to grow into many other schools."
