English Language Development in the era of Common Core Spring RESA Session 2013

This session from Spring RESA 2013 explores the concept of Disciplinary Literacy, emphasizing that content area teachers must integrate literacy experiences in their instruction. It highlights how students engage with domain-specific texts in subjects like science and social studies, learning through the unique lenses of each discipline. Understanding how professionals in various fields read and write is critical for developing deeper literacy skills beyond just reading and writing. The session outlines the need for diverse literacy approaches tailored to the specifics of individual disciplines.

  1. English Language Development in the era of Common CoreSpring RESA Session 2013

  2. Disciplinary Literacy • Content area teachers outside the ELA classroom emphasize literacy experiences in their planning and instruction. • Students learn through domain-specific texts in science & social studies classrooms • Rather than referring to the text, students are expected to learn from what they read in the text

  3. Defining Disciplinary Literacy • Disciplinary is anchored in the specifics of individual disciplines. • Each discipline has its own unique knowledge and its own ways of inquiring, investigating, reasoning, representing, and forming driving questions in the field. • What do historians consider when they read a text? • How do scientists write a text to be understood by others in the field? • How do artists or engineers or musicians read and write within their disciplines?

  4. Why it Matters? • Literacy is deeper than reading and writing • Content areas require students to engage with multiple texts in varying ways • The needs of diverse populations require expanded understandings of the scope of literacy

  5. Why it Matters (cont.) • There are multiple ways by which a person can be literate • Different disciplines require different literacy actions
