This book defines literacy broadly as it explores concepts within
core subjects and shows how to make standards-based literacy the
goal and outcome of school reform. It imagines a future digital
medium where educational technology is worthy of the spirit our
children bring to it.
Classrooms and schools centered on learners and learning can be
intellectually exciting places. This book attends to that concern
while giving a great deal of attention to connecting overlapping
themes to good teaching.
"Literacy Today" sets out to challenge teachers to make literacy
and learning more relevant and lasting for their students. By
providing a standards-based context for connecting basic subjects,
it encourages teachers to reflect upon their practices while
building a conceptual framework for new directions and new
approaches to the curriculum. As the concept of literacy expands to
meet the needs of today's complex world, teachers need all the
assistance that they can get. The standards movement does
notauthoritatively tell teachers what to do. rather, it helps them
make decisions about what to teach, what to spend time on, and what
to eliminate from the curriculum. This books gives teachers a road
map and a literacy-intensive destination. It highlights some of the
better routes and helps teachers with good activities and
professional development along the way.
