The Disciplinary Literacy Summit held in March, 2021, focused on how to engage students in deeper learning through disciplinary literacy practices. Participants examined what it meant to read, write, speak, and listen within the disciplines of SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, SOCIAL STUDIES, and ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS and then considered the implications for instruction.
Disciplinary Literacy: Continuing the Conversation is a five-month series that provides participants the opportunity to meet with an AERO Faculty Member who is an expert in one of the disciplines. Erma Anderson will serve as coordinator of the series.
The series will identify and examine specific literacy practices and relate them to the common practices and capacities. Together we will explore your questions about disciplinary literacy, the role of apprenticeship in each discipline, instructional strategies, and assessment considerations. In addition, we will examine the role of SEL in the realm of disciplinary literacy.
