Book excerpt: Appropriate preparation for preservice and inservice teachers for teaching content-area literacy continues to influence twenty-first century research agendas. In this systematic review (which analyzed 2,179 articles), the researcher aimed to ascertain and synthesize the research on teacher preparation for content-area literacy instruction while evaluating the methodological qualities of the research. The findings are presented in an article format with the connecting theme of content-area literacy; however, the first article focused on research regarding preservice teachers and the second article on inservice teachers. Whereas, previous reviews have primarily focused on secondary teacher beliefs and attitudes this review provides a broader scope of the research, which encompasses K-16 preservice and inservice teachers' beliefs, attitudes, instructional practices, strategies, and knowledge of content-area literacy instruction. The major findings from research on preservice teachers are: with a minimum of one content-area literacy course, this teacher preparation may prove to be less than sufficient; in addition, preservice teachers' beliefs regarding content-area literacy are typically positive, but actual transference once in the classroom is narrow. The major findings from the inservice article suggest the need for further training, modeling, and collaboration of literacy instruction for implementation in content classes. Inservice teachers, albeit experts of their content are restricted by their own motivation and knowledge of literacy strategies, therefore literacy implementation during class instruction is restricted. By reviewing longitudinal and current research as well as building upon previous reviews, these articles closely examine preservice and inservice teacher preparation, instruction, and implementation of literacy instruction in the content-area class.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic teaching of reading occurs at the elementary level, and students are expected to "read to learn" once they enter high school. The majority of the nation's secondary students do not have all the requisite skills to read and learn from high school texts and materials, and even drop-out rates have been attributed to students' inability to keep pace with the literacy skill demanded by the secondary curriculum. No Child Left Behind legislation now mandates secondary school reading initiatives, from high stakes testing to remediation. Despite the national focus on secondary reading, teachers in America's secondary schools are not teaching the skills and strategies necessary for their students to grow as readers and learn from what they read (ACT, 2007; Biancarosa & Snow, 2004). The study quantified Michigan's secondary content area teachers' attitudes toward teaching reading and examined the relationship between those attitudes and predictor variables of content area, level/type of training in teaching reading, degree level, and degree of learner centerdness. Data was collected from 191 male and female respondents vai email link to a survey using the Otto Smith Inventory Scale to measure teacher attitudes toward teaching reading and a portion of the Learner Centered Battery Scale to measure the respondents' learner-centeredness. Teacher respondents had generally positive attitudes toward teaching reading. Math and science respondents had significantly lower attitude scores that English teachers. Post-bachelors' training/education correlated positively with teacher attitudes toward teaching reading. A positive relationship existed between respondents' learner centered beliefs and their attitudes toward teaching content area reading. The data showed a negative relationship between non-learner centered beliefs and the respondents score on the OSI. Both correlations were significant at the .01 level. According to the data, the more learner centered a teacher, the more positive her attitude toward content area reading instruction. Conversely, the stronger a teacher's non-learner centered beliefs, the more negative her attitude toward content area reading instruction. The findings from this study provide important insights for designing inservice or post-bachelors training programs to create learner-centered belief systems and positive attitudes toward teaching content area instruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to Teach: Curricular and Pedagogical Considerations for Teacher Preparation introduces the reader to a collection of thoughtful research-based works by the authors. The chapters reflect the personal and professional experiences, based on field-research, of the contributing authors. The research study presented in each chapter offers different perspectives and approaches to ‘learning to teach’. Bridging theory and research in pre-service teacher preparation programs are examined. Each study reflects the findings on how the components and experiences of teacher preparation are addressed in diverse contexts and disciplines as well as the prevalent challenges for pre-service teacher preparation. Chapter One opens the book with a focus on learning to teach and the importance of symmetry in preparation and practice. Chapters Two – Ten present field-based research that examines the important complexities of ‘learning to teach’ in pre-service teacher preparation, acknowledging that across different disciplines the ‘learning to teach’ experiences vary based on the role and responsibilities that teachers have upon entering the classroom to teach.

Book excerpt: This study focused on evaluating the sufficiency of research in reading in the content area used to instruct classroom teachers. The research used was conducted between 1970 and 2000 and incorporated into textbooks written between 1975 and 2005. Studies examined were those reported in the following journals: Review of Educational Research, Review of Research in Education, Social Education, Theory and Research in Social Education, Reading Research Quarterly, and Research in the Teaching of English. Some attention was also given to two major educational curriculum and issue journals- Educational Leadership and Phi Delta Kappan as these sources might identify relevant research studies for further investigation. References cited in more than one text helped identify and establish a baseline of those studies considered most significant by textbook authors. The findings of this study showed that the majority of citations looked at the following themes: -Learners acquire meaning from the printed page through thought.-Reading can and should be done for different purposes using a variety of materials.-A number of techniques can be used to teach reading skills.-Reading materials need to be selected according to changes in a child's interests.-Reading ability is the level of reading difficulty that students can cope with. It depends on ability rather than age or grade level.-Readability contributes to both the reader's degree of comprehension and the need for teacher assistance when reading difficulty exceeds the reader's capability.-Reading instruction, in some form, needs to be carried on into the secondary grades. Research findings from the 1970s were concerned with reading strategies, reading skills, reading comprehension, readability, attitudes towards reading, vocabulary, study skills, and content area reading programs. In the 1980s research cited in content area reading books looked at reading comprehension, reading skills, vocabulary, learning strategies, curriculum issues, purposes for reading and writing, content area reading programs, readability, schema theory, thinking skills, summarizing, comprehension strategies, and cooperative learning. By the 1990s more research cited in content area reading books focused on reading strategies, curriculum issues, how to read documents and graphs, reading skills, vocabulary, attitudes towards reading, reading comprehension, and activating background knowledge.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined teachers' perceptions of the implementation of literacy instruction initiatives in secondary content classrooms. It explored the extent to which literacy training impacted the practice of middle and high school teachers and the reasons why they did or did not implement the literacy practices they learned. The differences between early literacy and adolescent literacy were presented, as well as overviews of three secondary literacy frameworks that support the adolescent literacy research including Reading Apprenticeship, Literacy Design Collaborative, and Penn Literacy Network. Professional development models, such as instructional coaching and professional learning communities, were described and change theory was examined. The study was conducted in two school districts in southeastern Pennsylvania. Middle and high school teachers from both districts, as well as teacher leaders from each district participated in the study. Content area teachers completed a survey, which provided information about literacy trainings in which they participated and how and why these literacy trainings impacted or did not impact their practice in the classroom. Interviews were conducted with teacher leaders to provide more information about the literacy training and ascertain their perceptions of implementation of the literacy initiatives. The results of this study demonstrated that teachers are more likely to implement new literacy frameworks if they understand the value of the initiative for their students. The findings also indicated that combinations of literacy initiatives correlated to greater levels of implementation, rather than a single initiative.
