Download or read book Engaging Students in Disciplinary Literacy K 6 written by Cynthia H. Brock and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This accessible book will help elementary school teachers improve literacy instruction inside or outside the Common Core environment. The authors address teachers’ instructional needs by introducing key concepts from current trends in literacy education—from high-level standards to the use of 21st-century literacies. Readers then follow teachers as they successfully implement the curriculum they developed to promote high-level thinking and engagement with disciplinary content. The text focuses on three disciplinary literacy units of instruction: a science unit in a 2nd-grade classroom, a social studies (history) unit in a 4th-grade classroom, and a mathematics unit in a 6th-grade classroom. Each unit revolves around a central inquiry question and includes research-based strategies for using reading, writing, and classroom talk as tools to foster disciplinary understandings. This unique, insider’s look at how real teachers build and implement a Common Core–aligned curriculum will be an invaluable resource for teachers, schools, and districts as they move forward to align their own curricula. “I can’t imagine a more timely book . . . a set of elegant principles and some stunning examples of how teachers can use reading, writing, and talk to enhance learning in the science, social studies, and mathematics classroom.” —P. David Pearson, professor of language and literacy and human development, Graduate School of Education, University of California, Berkeley “If you’re wondering how to integrate literacy across the content disciplines, this is the text you will want to keep and return to often.” —Diane Lapp, distinguished professor of education, San Diego State University “Inspiring, and better still, infectious!” —Donald R. Bear, Iowa State University “Provides concrete ideas for teaching students to use literacy to think like scientists, historians, and mathematicians.” —Douglas Fisher, professor of educational leadership, San Diego State University, and teacher leader, Health Sciences High and Middle College
Download or read book Teacher Perceptions and Practice for Increasing Student Literacy Engagement in Low Decile 1 1 Laptop Classrooms written by Moira Ngahuia Nock and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools throughout New Zealand are using a range of digital technology devices to engage students in literacy learning. This is partially in response to The New Zealand Ministry of Education’s commitment to providing access to digital learning opportunities to support 21st century practice in teaching and learning. The Ministry suggests (Ministry of Education, 2015) that schools should explore not only how Information Communications and Technology (ICT) can supplement traditional ways of teaching, but also implement new and innovative ways of teaching and learning. While teachers have an obligation to keep abreast of global changes in education, caution and time are needed to ensure there is robust research evidence to support the new directions. Therefore, this study seeks to examine the effects of 1:1 laptop programmes on students’ literacy engagement in low decile schools. A Problem Based Methodology (PBM) examines the central issue of student engagement to establish what factors in teacher practice result in successful educational outcomes for diverse students. To answer the research questions, this study has gathered information from teacher questionnaires and classroom observations. Factors regarding approaches and instructional strategies teachers use, and the consequences of these for student engagement, require consideration if our goal is for students in low decile schools to succeed. This is particularly the case when the context for this study is decile 1A schools with the most socially and economically disadvantaged students. This study aims to address an important gap in current literature by identifying and addressing approaches and strategies teachers use in digital learning classrooms that lead to effective student engagement. Teacher perceptions of the existing barriers to effective student engagement in literacy learning are also considered and recommendations offered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As elegantly practical as it is theoretically elegant. It is a guided tour, as one examines the tools of expert teachers as they engage students in a journey that is aptly dubbed Reading Apprenticeship?learning how to become a savvy, strategic reader under the tutelage of thoughtful, caring, and demanding teachers.? P. David Pearson, University of California, Berkeley, and founding editor of the Handbook of Reading Research. Reading for Understanding is a monumental achievement. It was a monumental achievement when it came out as a first edition in 1999, bringing years of rigorous reading research together in a framework for teaching that made sense in actual secondary school classrooms. Now, just thirteen years later, Schoenbach and Greenleaf have several randomized clinical trials and multiple on-going studies at their fingertips to demonstrate the effects of this approach for developing the reading and thinking of young people in our nation?s middle and high school classrooms, as well as in community college classrooms. Their careful work on developing disciplinary literacy among all students represents a passion for and commitment to supporting students?and their teachers?in reading for understanding, which translates to reading for enjoyment, self-awareness, learning, and for purposeful and informed action in our society. ?Elizabeth Moje, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Associate Dean for Research, School of Education, University of Michigan Reading Apprenticeship has proven to be an inspiration to Renton Technical College faculty and students alike. They have learned together to view themselves as readers in transformative ways, as they embrace powerful techniques to increase reading comprehension. The ideas and strategies in Reading for Understanding anchor this new and broad-based energy around reading and an enthusiasm among our faculty to model effective reading strategies for our students. ?Steve Hanson, President, Renton Technical College, Renton, Washington Reading for Understanding has the finest blend I have seen of research, strategies, and classroom vignettes to deepen teacher learning and help them connect the dots between theory and practice. ?Curtis Refior, Content Area Literacy Coach, Fowlerville Community Schools, Fowlerville, Michigan A teacher-tested, research-based resource for dramatically improving reading skills Published in partnership with WestEd, this significantly updated second edition of the bestselling book contains strategies for helping students in middle school through community college gain the reading independence to master subject area textbooks and other material.
