Remember when all teachers were to be "teachers of reading"—and those “strategy of the week” activities that teachers were asked to use whether or not they supported the curriculum or the learning goals? Thankfully, we now understand the importance of interdisciplinary literacy; reading, writing, speaking, reasoning and doing within the disciplines. With this approach, strategies morph into disciplinary tools that deepen student involvement and understanding in all subject areas. As students begin to use literacy the way experts do, they read and write about content, solve problems, ask questions, make decisions, discuss topics, and develop knowledge in a way that truly sticks. Join ReLeah Cossett Lent, author of This is Disciplinary Literacy, in an interactive workshop where teachers blend their subject expertise with relevant literacy practices that replace “covering” content with deep, engaged learning.
