Download or read book Literacy Narratives microform Writing and Relating Letters and Stories of Teacher Knowledge Identity and Development written by Darlene Ciuffetelli Parker and published by Library and Archives Canada = Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. This book was released on 2004 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In part three, I study closely the application of related literacy narratives as a tool for collaborative teacher development and literacy education reform. I extrapolate such principles as: commitment, patience, trust, respect, compromise, community, affirmation, and relationship. Implications for the use of related literacy narratives as a tool for collaborative teacher development in other educational contexts and as applied to my research findings conclude my project. In this project, I focus on my personal and professional knowledge relationship with Jeanette, a Grade 6 teacher, over a four year span and use writing about my co-participant and me, as well as writing with Jeannette, to examine literacy teaching and learning as a product of caring, collaborative relationships in a diverse communal school landscape. Teacher knowledge, identity and development of literacy educators are explored through the primary method of letter writing, as well as other conversations, interviews, research texts, course papers, journals and diaries I have written in what I term literacy narratives . My work in this narrative inquiry is positioned in the work of Dewey's (1938) experience as education, in Connelly and Clandinin's (1988, 1994, 1999) research of teachers as curriculum makers, teacher identity, and personal practical knowledge and in Clandinin and Connelly's (1995, 1996, 2000) extensive work on teachers' professional knowledge landscapes and narrative inquiry through experience and story in qualitative research. In part two, I examine the concept of teacher identity in the development of literacy educators. I show literacy narratives, through the primary method of letter writing with Jeanette, by studying literacy narrative landscapes such as the Breakfast Club and by the examination of teachers' and students' personal literacy narratives which linked teachers' teaching and learning of literacy to students' learning and acquisition of literacy. In part one of this study, I illustrate teachers' professional knowledge by looking first at my own personal literacy narrative as I came into this research. I then look at professional knowledge landscapes through the viewpoint of Joseph, the principal, while positioning my own theories to the landscape site.
Download or read book Literacy Narratives Across the Curriculum written by Marjorie D. Coffey and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis proposes expanding the locations where literacy narratives are currently used as readings and as writing assignments and considering broad conceptions of the types and uses of literacy narratives read in classrooms. In particular, this thesis asserts the value of expanding the literacy narratives read beyond the current canonical texts and of locating literacy narratives not only in composition but in three other university settings: first-year seminars, introductory courses to the major, and Writing in the Disciplines courses. Within these settings, literacy narratives can be used to help students develop identities as university students and as professionals within their disciplines. Using the language and theories of New Literacy Studies, a pedagogical framework is proposed for teaching literacy narratives across the disciplines. This framework is then applied to three literacy narratives written by professionals from diverse disciplines, demonstrating the usefulness of this tool for teachers assigning literacy narratives to be read or written within their classes.

Download or read book Understanding Reading written by Frank Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-05-20 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Reading revolutionized reading research and theory when the first edition appeared in 1971 and continues to be a leader in the field. In the sixth edition of this classic text, Smith's purpose remains the same: to shed light on fundamental aspects of the complex human act of reading--linguistic, physiological, psychological, and social--and on what is involved in learning to read. The text critically examines current theories, instructional practices, and controversies, covering a wide range of disciplines but always remaining accessible to students and classroom teachers. Careful attention is given to the ideological clash that continues between whole language and direct instruction and currently permeates every aspect of theory and research into reading and reading instruction. To aid readers in making up their own minds, each chapter concludes with a brief statement of "Issues." Understanding Reading: A Psycholinguistic Analysis of Reading and Learning to Read, Sixth Edition is designed to serve as a handbook for language arts teachers, a college text for basic courses on the psychology of reading, a guide to relevant research on reading, and an introduction to reading as an aspect of thinking and learning. It is matchless in integrating a wide range of topics relative to reading while, at the same time, being highly readable and user-friendly for instructors, students, and practitioners.

Book excerpt: In a frank and unpretentious series of letters addressed to a teenage granddaughter, this highly original book teaches us to know and understand the world we live in and its rules, and how to behave in it. In these thirty letters, Alan Macfarlane answers his granddaughter's questions about how the world works, how it got to be as it is, what it could be, and where she fits in. Lily's enquiries range from the intimate, personal and moral to the political, social and philosophical. What is the nature of good and evil? What is religion? How can I be truly me? Is right and wrong the same wherever you are? What is beauty? Does there have to be torture? Does money matter? Is knowledge always good? What is progress? What is truth? What is sex? Is democracy a good idea? These are just a few of the questions. In responding to Lily's challenging problems, Alan Macfarlane, from a lifetime's experience as a historian, anthropologist and teacher, ranges through history and across the world's cultures. Her questions are timeless. His answers add up to a classic.
