Product Description
At the heart of Rethinking the "Adolescent" in Adolescent Literacy is a call to English language arts teachers to examine the very assumptions of adolescence they may be operating from in order to reimagine new possibilities for engaging students with the English curriculum.Relying on a sociocultural view of adolescence established by scholars in critical youth studies, the book focuses on classrooms from diverse contexts to explain adolescence as a construct and how this perspective of youth can encourage educators to reenvision literacy instruction and learning.
Working from and looking beyond Adolescent Literacy: An NCTE Policy Research Brief, the authors explore the "myth" of adolescence and the possibility of a curriculum that positions youth as experts and knowledgeable advocates fully engaged in their own learning. Principles in Practice imprint
