Text: Disciplinary Literacy Inquiry & Instruction by Jacy Ippolito, Christina L. Dobbs, and Megin Charner-Laird

To order: http://dev.learningsciences.com/disciplinary-literacy-inquiry-and-instruction

According to Joan Sedita, research shows that extended time for literacy, which can take place across language arts and content-area classes, improves adolescent literacy achievement in middle and high schools. This text explores the idea that disciplinary literacy doesn't ask all teachers to be general reading teachers; it asks 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. By combining the RAND model for reading comprehension with collaborative cycles of inquiry, Ippolito, Dobbs, and Charner-Laird connect effective professional learning to shifts in classroom practice. The resulting framework supports teachers and leaders in designing the disciplinary literacy teaching and learning experiences that students need to succeed within and beyond school. 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.
