But that big order can be handled by teachers who are expert in their disciplines and administrators who trust them to do their jobs. https://padlet.com/barbaralane1/600501W/wish/1747702808 2021-09-17 03:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/barbaralane1/600501W/wish/1747702808 https://padlet.com/barbaralane1/600501W/wish/1747703003 "Along with this more reasonable approach comes a sense of empowerment for content-area teachers. Those who never felt qualified to teach “reading”—and said so from the beginning—can now feel confident in their abilities to teach literacy as it relates to their discipline."

Rather it is a set of multi-faceted social practices that are shaped by contexts, participants, and technologies” (p. 1)."
This stood out to me because it gives a great overview and understanding of how complex literacy can be. ]]> 2021-09-17 03:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/barbaralane1/600501W/wish/1747722215
