In this book, Linda Laidlaw explores the questions: What happens
when children begin to write? Why is it that the teaching and
practice of writing seems at times to be difficult in schools? How
might teachers work differently to create more inviting spaces for
developing literacy? The premise is that written texts and literacy
processes are developed within a complex "weave" of particular
contexts, or ecologies, and the unique particularity of the
learner's experiences, histories, memories and interpretations.
Laidlaw offers new information about writing and literacy pedagogy
linked to current research in the complexity sciences and
cognition, and considers the possibilities that might emerge for
pedagogy when alternative metaphors, images, and structures are
considered for writing and curriculum. The volume includes
qualitative and narrative description of writing and literacy
situations, events, and pedagogy, and elaborates the historical,
theoretical, and curricular background in which such instruction
exists within contemporary schooling. Reinventing Curriculum: A
Complex-Perspective on Literacy and Writing: *addresses literacy
through a focus on writing rather than on reading; *develops an
approach to literacy and writing pedagogy that incorporates recent
theories and research on learning and the complexity sciences;
*examines perspectives on writing from both a teaching perspective
and that of the work of writers; *makes connections between the
acquisition of literacy to research in other domains; *examines
both the benefits and the "costs" of literacy; and *challenges
"commonsense" understandings within instruction, for example, that
literacy teaching and learning can occur apart from other aspects
of children's learning, context, and subjectivity, or that learning
occurs individually rather than collectively. This book is
important reading for researchers, professionals, teacher
educators, and students involved in literacy education and writing
instruction, and an excellent text for courses in these areas.
