Building Academic Literacy is a coach-in-a-pocket for educators
seeking to build strong academic literacy and higher-order
thinking. This book is for anyone with responsibility for
instruction - teachers, instructional coaches, professional
developers, principals, curriculum leaders, teacher preparation
faculty. It provides pathways to developing higher-order thinking
in every student and setting. Key to its success is that it
connects reading, writing, listening, thinking, and speaking.
Readers will find that they can engage all students with content,
but more importantly, students will process content in ways
appropriate to a particular subject. They also develop independent
learning skills -- exactly what the Common Core State Standards
call for. The text is engaging yet practical and practicable -
grounded and useful to teachers in enacting more student-centered
classrooms. Its strategies serve to actively engage all students in
high-level thinking and learning, those who have always found
school easy and those who have not. Not a prescription, but a book
designed to deepen individual and group teacher competencies to
implement learning strategies in new ways and to continually refine
and develop their craft.
