Event Details


Today's teachers need to prepare students for a world that places increasingly higher literacy demands on its citizens.

In this 15-hour course, teachers will read (Re)Imagining Content-Area Literacy. The text explores content-area literacy and instruction in English, music, science, mathematics, social studies, visual arts, technology, and theatre. Each of the chapters has been written by teacher educators who are experts in their discipline. Their key recommendations reflect the aims and instructional frameworks unique to content-area learning. This resource focuses on how literacy specialists and content-area educators can combine their talents to teach all readers and writers in the middle and secondary school classroom.
