Project I'M READY has two primary goals. The first project goal is to educate 21st century school librarians to serve in culturally diverse, high poverty rural areas of Oklahoma, serving Native American students. The second project goal is to develop and disseminate culturally sensitive, digital curriculum and learning resources to improve K-12 pedagogy in the targeted areas. Project I'M READY's goals will be accomplished by attaining four objectives expressed as institutional outcomes.

The program operates under an advisory board representing the major partnering and supporting stakeholders in this program. The board provides oversight, guidance, and advice to the project directors as it relates to the specific program outcomes.
