ABOUT XITO

The Xicanx Institute for Teaching and Organizing (XITO) is an urban education consulting collective and a program of the Center for Community Education, a 501c3 non-profit organization. XITO is committed to assisting urban school districts, higher education institutions, school administrators and classroom teachers to create inclusive, vibrant and dynamic learning environments. XITO consultants offer support to achieve this goal through the use of culturally responsive, rehumanizing pedagogy, and rigorous/relevant curriculum that inspires every student to thrive.

As nationally renowned urban education experts whose years of work effectively serving minoritized students, the XITO educational consultant team will support  your institution to transform through the elimination of "achievement gaps" as evidenced through both quantitative and qualitative peer reviewed studies of our work (Cabrera, et al., 2014; Capellucci et al., 2011; Sleeter, 2011).
