Inhaltsangabe

This book shows literacy professionals how to develop the dispositions and actions associated with advocacy-focused teaching. While portraits of culturally conscious literacy teachers are now readily available, becoming such a teacher continues to be a challenge. Drawing from 60+ years of experience working with teacher candidates and teachers in the city of Philadelphia, the authors argue that becoming an advocacy-focused literacy teacher requires making moral commitments to students and developing professional competencies that fuse literacy, language, and equity studies. Recognizing that educators can be overwhelmed trying to match the realities they face daily with the theory behind good practice, Connecting Equity, Literacy, and Language packs a lot of big ideas into one readable, concise book that is perfect for use in literacy methods courses. The text includes definitions and examples of equity concepts, relatable teacher vignettes, and "Pause and Reflect" boxes to encourage reflection and classroom conversation.

Book Features:

  • Examines the central problems of students' disconnection with school, spirit murdering, and the teacher education gap.
  • Looks at inequities that have become normalized in classrooms and schools through standardized testing, literacy teaching routines and structures, and deficit-laced language about students and families.
  • Discusses literacies and languages as cultural practices and the need to be vigilant about the linguistic violence that occurs when students' languages are delegitimized.
  • Describes critically and culturally centered teaching frameworks.
  • Provides vivid examples of advocacy-focused teaching.
