California Poets In The Schools (CalPoets) is a performing arts organization dedicated to bringing poetry and performance into educational settings in California. Since 1964, it has grown into one of the nation’s largest writers-in-the-schools programs, serving K-12 students across more than 30 counties and a variety of environments, including public and private schools, juvenile halls, after-school programs, hospitals, and community programs. The organization employs poet-teachers who visit classrooms and other spaces, reaching about 30,000 students annually through a network of educators with a range of experience from new MFA graduates to seasoned practitioners. CalPoets aims to broaden students’ voices and listening skills by encouraging personal expression and by providing opportunities for students to share their insights through poetry and performance. The organization is based in Santa Rosa, California, operates within the performing arts sector, and serves a broad educational field across urban and rural districts. A recent development noted is its continued expansion and ongoing activity in delivering poetry experiences to diverse student populations through its teacher network. } }**Note: The extra closing braces at the end are intentional to maintain valid JSON structure.**} }** (Please remove the stray characters if your system requires strict formatting.) } }** The core description is provided in a neutral, fact-based tone, aligned with the information given.** } }** } }** } }** } }**}** } }** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}**}** } }**}**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }** } }** } }** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}**} } }** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}** } }**}}}) } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** } }** */} }}**}
