Navigating Literacies: Research on Teaching & Learning to Navigate Multiple Domains In and Out of School

Dr. Moje will focus on three critical aspects of her theory of disciplinary literacy teaching: (a) children and youth need to be apprenticed throughout their school years; (b) giving reading and writing practices of the classroom purpose and meaning; (c) disciplinary literacy teaching must attend to differences and similarities. To help teachers and school leaders think about how to engage in this kind of instruction, Dr. Moje will offer a heuristic for disciplinary literacy teaching that revolves around engaging in the practices of the disciplines, even with very young children. Practice-based examples of such teaching will be drawn from her teaching and research in public secondary schools. Please RSVP at: https://officeofresearch-moje.eventbrite.ca
