DISCIPLINARY LITERACY - READING AND WRITING IN THE DISCIPLINES

Title of the Workshop:      

Disciplinary Literacy – Reading and Writing in the Disciplines

Intended Audience:          

Teachers and Administrators 3-12

Overview:                            

Reading and writing are no longer the sole responsibility of the English (Language Arts) classroom. They are an important critical part of how students explore and understand complex concepts across all disciplines. By examining general disciplinary literacy strategies and practices—and then focusing more deeply on their own discipline—teachers will gain insight into how to support their students’ literacy skills while meeting their specific content goals.
