How Important is Teaching Literacy in All Content Areas? | Edutopia - 0 views

  • "Adolescents entering the adult world in the 21st century will read and write more than at any other time in human history. They will need advanced levels of literacy to perform their jobs, run their households, act as citizens, and conduct their personal lives."

  • Content is what we teach, but there is also the how, and this is where literacy instruction comes in.

    I like this idea for us next year. Would you all be willing to do this once in a while? I think it would help us with our "grey area" assessments.

    This is an interesting way for groups to look at student work and the work of the teachers creating the assessments.
