A volume in Contemporary Research in Education Series Editor Terry
A. Osborn, Fordham University Functional literacy, cultural
literacy, and progressive literacy are just a few of the many terms
one can invoke when attempting to define literacy. From a critical
perspective, for a democratic society to exist, a critical literacy
is of crucial importance. Critical literacy aims to empower
individuals and transform society. It is grounded in critical
theory and, like critical pedagogy, investigates ways in which
social, cultural, racial, sexual, and economic inequalities are
reproduced. By investigating the ideological, political, and social
structures that perpetuate such inequalities, it hopes to raise
consciousness and move towards creating a more socially just
society. This book examines the approaches set forth by Atwell,
Calkins, and Rief in their books, In the Middle (1998); The Art of
Teaching Writing (1994); and Seeking Diversity (1992),
respectively. This book is of relevance to teacher educators and
English Language Arts teachers. It enables one to become familiar
with the main components of the Readers'/Writers' workshop and
develop an awareness of how literacy may be conceptualized and
reconceptualized through this approach. Teacher educators will find
this text useful for raising preservice teachers' awareness of the
ideologies that inform literacy education and in developing their
understanding for how students are positioned socially, culturally,
politically and economically by such ideologies. English Language
Arts teachers will find this book informative in understanding how
they can be positioned by teacher texts to teach towards certain
ideologies of literacy. Finally, it allows teacher educators and
English Language Arts teachers to consider what kind of literacy
education is provided for through the Readers'/Writers' workshop,
and whether space may be negotiated within the Readers'/Writers'
workshop, for the teaching of critical literacy.
