Disciplinary Literacy Inquiry Instruction Second Edition PDF Download

What do you get when a high school English teacher, a middle school literacy coach, and an elementary school teacher realize that the old adage of "every teacher is a teacher of reading" misses the bigger picture? Jacy Ippolito, Christina Dobbs, and Megin Charner-Laird have spent the last decade trying to answer that question, working with teachers across grade levels, conducting studies and analyzing research in order to build a more comprehensive instructional strategy that engages with any group of students in every content area. The answer they came to is disciplinary literacy. Combined with the RAND model for reading comprehension and the Inquiry Cycle, Ippolito, Dobbs, and Charner-Laird have produced a framework for teaching and learning that develops the skills all students need to succeed outside of school. Disciplinary Literacy doesn't ask for all teachers to be general reading teachers; it asks for all educators to empower students to adopt and eventually adapt the language, genres, and modalities prized by each discipline"¬‚¬"to give students the tools to take on professional identities. This book provides research-based frameworks, guiding questions and examples, and lots of stories from teachers who have already walked the path of Disciplinary Literacy Inquiry and Instruction"¬‚¬"it's for educators who want to take ownership of their own learning alongside like-minded colleagues, and raise the achievement of all their students.
