Full Description
It has never been so essential as now for students to know that their own personal experiences and voices matter and are reflected in the instruction that they receive. With this book, you can show your students how living as readers and writers allows them to develop and strengthen their own identities through experiences with highly engaging texts and resources.
With clear examples of teaching and learning experiences, you will learn how to incorporate student voices into your classroom in order to demonstrate the immediate and long-lasting impacts of teaching equitably within a literacy-rich environment grounded in research-based instruction. The book provides demonstrations for how to create opportunities for learners to see themselves within the curriculum and how to ensure students know that they are "seen" in order to foster a community where all feel valued through a curriculum that honors the diversity within a classroom. The author uses personal and reflective narratives as a foundation to motivate readers, encourage teacher persistence and resilience, and demonstrate what equity entails in the classroom.
This is an ideal resource for K-12 teachers, coaches, and literacy specialists who want to construct an equitable literacy curriculum in order to contribute to their students building and shaping their own narratives.
