For a new third edition of this book, Teaching to Exceed in the English Language Arts: A Justice, Inquiry, and Action Approach for 6-12 Classrooms (Routlege). For the website for this new edition.

 

 

 

 

The first 6‐12 English language arts methods text to be aligned with the Standards, this text also addresses their limitations--formalist assumptions about literacy learning, limited attention to media/digital literacies, lack of attention to critical literacies, and developmental assumptions about linking standards and text complexity to specific grade levels--and shows how these limitations can be surpassed through adoption of a literacy practices/critical engagement curriculum framework. Specific examples of teachers using this approach to interpreting and translating the Standards bring it to life.
