Bringing Literacy Strategies into Content Instruction: Professional Learning for Secondary-Level Teachers
The Center on Instruction's publication provides research-based guidance on academic literacy instruction in the content areas, specifically focusing on the effective use of text in content areas. The paper reviews the research evidence about content-area literacy instruction for adolescents and suggests ways teachers can use content-area texts to enable students to understand subject-specific vocabulary and concepts. This document also provides a brief synopsis of working with adult learners and the most promising professional development practices identified in research.
New and Experienced Teachers in a School Reform Initiative: The Example of Reading First
REL Northwest completed a study comparing the experiences and perceptions of new and experienced teachers in 235 schools in six western states (Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming) that have adopted the Reading First school reform initiative. Using previously collected data from surveys and interviews, the study considers four areas of the reform initiative for bringing all K–3 students up to grade level in reading by grade 3: instructional coaches, teacher collaboration, use of student assessment data, and support for reform.
