This book presents an evidence-based framework for understanding
the literacy needs of adolescents. The premise is that educators
and other critical stakeholders need to understand evidence-based
principles in order to develop effective curriculum to meet the
needs of diverse learners. Recommendations are provided for middle
and secondary education, professional development, teacher
education research and policy. At the center of the book are Eight
Guiding Principles developed by the authors through a process that
included an extensive review of research and policy literature in
literacy and related fields, a comparison of National Standards
documents, and visits to the classrooms of 28 middle and high
school teachers across the United States. The Principles are broad
enough to encompass a variety of contexts and student needs, yet
specific enough to offer real support to those involved in program
development or policy decisions. They provide an overarching
structure that districts and teachers can use to develop
site-specific curriculum that is both research-based and designed
to meet the needs of the learners for whom they are responsible.
Important Text Features: Organized to help readers understand
empirically supported principles of practice that can be used to
address literacy concerns in today's schools, each chapter that
addresses one of the eight Principles follows a similar format: *
The Principle is presented along with a brief explanation of the
research base and a sample of national standards that support it. *
One or more case examples spanning a wide variety of disciplines,
grade levels, and local conditions - provide an in-depth look at
the Principle in action. * A well-known adolescent literacy expert
offers a response to each case example, giving readers an informed
view of the importance of the Principle, how it is enacted in the
cases, and examples of other work related to the Principle.
Discussion questions are provided that can be used for individual
reflection or group discussion. Principled Practices for Adolescent
Literacy is intended as a text for pre-service and in-service
upper-elementary, middle and high school literacy methods courses
and graduate courses related to adolescent literacy, and as a
resource for school district personnel, policymakers and parents.
