Once, teachers who knew their content area and knew how to teach it
were respected as professionals. Now there is an additional type of
competency required: in addition to content and pedagogical
knowledge, educators need advocacy skills. In this groundbreaking
collection, literacy educators describe how they are redefining
what it means to be a teaching professional. Teachers share how
they are trying to change the conversation surrounding literacy and
literacy instruction by explaining to colleagues, administrators,
parents and community members why they teach in particular
research-based ways, so often contradicted by mandated curricula
and standardised assessments. Teacher educators also share how they
are introducing an advocacy approach to preservice and practising
teachers, helping prepare teachers for this new professionalism.
Both groups practice what the authors call "everyday advocacy": the
day-to-day actions teachers are taking to change the public
narrative surrounding schools, teachers and learning.
