  5. Penn Literacy Network (PLN) • Secondary teachers are involved in the constant process of increasing students’ active reading and writing abilities using a variety of texts within the high-pressure environment of state accountability. There is a growing philosophy that every teacher is a literacy teacher, a view that is becoming increasingly important as schools prepare for standards-based learning which places an emphasis on content literacy. Throughout this course, participants learn and share a variety of practical strategies and research based frameworks for integrating PLN into their schools to encourage student engagement with rich reading writing talking listening best practices strategies. This is not an add-on approach to teaching and learning; it is a set of theoretical frameworks for guiding best practice and decision-making using whatever curricula are in place. The course provides opportunities for hands-on learning, reflection and the development of common language about literacy, particularly in the areas of reading and writing to learn. This work is based on the teachings of Dr. Morton Botel, University of PA Emeritus Professor and Founder/Senior Advisor of PLN. • Participants are active readers, writers, talkers and listeners in this course. The course provides a paradigm for classroom engagement that is best learned through experience. We are a community of learners and we will all contribute to one another’s professional growth.
