This book shows literacy professionals how to develop the
dispositions and actions associated with advocacy-focused teaching.
While portraits of culturally conscious literacy teachers are now
readily available, becoming such a teacher continues to be a
challenge. Drawing from 60+ years of experience working with
teacher candidates and teachers in the city of Philadelphia, the
authors argue that becoming an advocacy-focused literacy teacher
requires making moral commitments to students and developing
professional competencies that fuse literacy, language, and equity
studies. Recognizing that educators can be overwhelmed trying to
match the realities they face daily with the theory behind good
practice, Connecting Equity, Literacy, and Language packs a lot of
big ideas into one readable, concise book that is perfect for use
in literacy methods courses. The text includes definitions and
examples of equity concepts, relatable teacher vignettes, and
"Pause and Reflect" boxes to encourage reflection and classroom
conversation. Book Features: Examines the central problems of
students' disconnection with school, spirit murdering, and the
teacher education gap. Looks at inequities that have become
normalized in classrooms and schools through standardized testing,
literacy teaching routines and structures, and deficit-laced
language about students and families. Discusses literacies and
languages as cultural practices and the need to be vigilant about
the linguistic violence that occurs when students' languages are
delegitimized. Describes critically and culturally centered
teaching frameworks. Provides vivid examples of advocacy-focused
teaching.
