Understanding how to address current trends and issues in literacy
education is more important than ever, as local, state, national
and international agendas are increasingly recognizing literacy as
a foundation for success in all disciplines in education. To bridge
that gap in understanding, this book showcases hot topics in
literacy, providing teachers with research-based practices for
literacy improvement. Acknowledging that learning the languages of
mathematics, science, and history is quintessential to content
knowledge acquisition and dissemination, the international scholars
which comprise the author line-up for this edited collection
describe the evidence-based research findings from their research
in K-12 schools to demonstrate how literacy success is fostered
across the globe. Featuring innovative approaches to early
literacy, disciplinary literacy, and digital literacy, the authors
also pay attention to emerging topics like social, emotional, and
cultural learning. By offering a selection of timely and cutting
edge insights into the trending topics in literacy education, this
book is ideal reading for teachers across early childhood,
elementary, middle, and high school years.
This popular book addresses literacy leaders' eternal quest to
prepare all students for the demands of the 21st century. This
updated Sixth Edition will help prospective and current literacy
professionals understand how to organize and supervise literacy
programs within the context of current state and federal mandates.
With a focus on providing instruction at all grade levels and for
different types of learners, the book explores specific program
elements related to materials selection, teacher evaluation,
professional development, student assessment, writing, technology,
school- and districtwide evaluation, and parent and community
outreach. Expert authors provide new insights about what
administrators and teachers should know, and be able to do, given
the expanded definition of literacy, a renewed interest in the
science of reading, and a deep concern for closing the achievement
gap that has become more prevalent across the nation. This
user-friendly text includes examples, observations, research, and
specific guidelines for improving programs in relation to current
requirements and future expectations. Book Features: The most
comprehensive resource on the oversight of PreK-12 literacy
programs. Guidance to help specialized literacy professionals meet
today's mandates for teachers and students. Chapters written by
experts with years of experience working with their topic in
schools. Real-life examples and vignettes demonstrate how theories
can be applied to practice. Reflective questions and project
assignments help make ideas relevant to a reader's unique
situation. Connections across chapters and directions for future
considerations help summarize and synthesize the information across
the entire book.
