Research Setting: Suburban primary-elementary school in Western, NY (not sure if I should include an additional rural school in Western, NY)
Participants: third graders in my classroom (not sure yet if I should deepen the pool to include additional third graders in another classroom or second graders as well)
Research Questions:
1. What are the reading identities of third graders in a suburban Western, New York school?
*How do third grade students describe and do reading?
*How do third grade students describe themselves as readers?
2. How do school literacy practices impact third graders view of reading and their reading identities? (Not sure if question 2 frames it better or if it should be broken into separate questions)

Digital Literacy

Setting:
Document analysis / review of standards / curriculum

Research Questions:
R1: "How do we think critically about digital literacy in a way that moves us as a global community toward being digital citizens?"
What are the critical aspects of the digital literacy standards (ISTE) that support a digital citizenship? or global community growth?
R2:
Something something digital literacy deficits that preclude workplace advancement for low-skilled workers.

“...Access to these resources not only enhances teaching and learning, but necessitates new pedagogical approaches that rely more on learner collaboration than traditional teacher-centered instruction. In essence, traditional teaching is being replaced with technology-enhanced media that enable ubiquitous learning. In some cases, learners’ social networks are supporting new social distributions of knowledge, which is a more democratized collaborative learning process” (Careless, 2015; Shokri & Dafoulas, 2016).

Participants: 3rd-5th graders

RQs: How can incorporating multimodal reader's response practices nurture, children's 8-10, academic and personal identities? 

If multimodal reader's response does affect personal and academic identity growth, how do students recognize and make sense of that growth? ]]> 2020-02-08 16:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mgyima2/oowlerdt8zid/wish/442555118 Liz elizabeth_gibbs2 https://padlet.com/mgyima2/oowlerdt8zid/wish/442555364 Topic: Secondary Content Teacher Preparation & Disciplinary Literacy

RQ2: How do graduates from one secondary English teacher education program without a SVC curriculum incorporate SVC in their instruction?

RQ1 - What in-school factors contribute towards motivating struggling and proficient readers to read for pleasure?

RQ2: Does pleasure reading impact struggling and proficient readers academically?

I would use surveys and interviews - maybe focus groups.

Setting & Participants - high school - possibly using students who are considered struggling and/or reluctant readers and those who are considered advanced readers. When I created my dissertation sketch, it was going to be an after-school study

New thought - since I did my RoL, the CRISP framework became my result. I feel like book clubs meet the needs of all aspects of CRISP.  Could I focus my study specifically on book clubs?  I still like the aspect of using both remedial and advanced readers but would this require me to revamp my entire RoL or could I just add in a bit about book clubs?
