While the Common Core has made informational text a focal point in
English/language arts classrooms around the country, it has also
made literacy a key concern in other subjects. Teaching literacy in
the disciplines and navigating informational texts are challenging
prospects. How can content-area teachers find high-quality
informational texts that will enhance their curriculum? How do they
go about working with these new texts? Most importantly, how do
teachers balance their responsibility towards their subject matter
with the new charge to incorporate disciplinary literacy? The key
is to connect, communicate, and collaborate. Teachers can meet
these challenges together and enhance student literacy, engagement,
and motivation along the way. This volume offers a practical model
that teachers in any discipline can use to incorporate
informational texts into their classrooms on their own or in
collaboration with colleagues in other content areas. We also share
suggestions and ideas for initiating and implementing collaboration
between teachers of any discipline, even those working at the
secondary level with complex schedules and curricula.
