Disciplinary Literacy Task Force

Happy February, everyone.

During this time of year in educational fields, we often find ourselves living in two worlds--our current school year AND the one to come. In this edition, you will find information, resources, and inspiration as you look back and look forward. Happy reading!

Participants of EduPaths Disciplinary Literacy courses are reporting satisfaction with the courses, and most participants agree that the courses deepened their understanding of disciplinary literacy. Additionally, participants indicate they will be able to apply what they learned, and that their learning will have a positive effect on students.

The Disciplinary Literacy Task Force is comprised of consultants from across the state, each of whom brings his or her own disciplinary expertise. We meet monthly, and our most pressing goal is to continue to scale this work statewide. We also prioritize equity in the delivery of our services as well as building and leveraging partnerships across the state in an effort to promote this important work. Our ongoing work includes planning for, creating and implementing professional learning for secondary educators and using this newsletter, our blog, Twitter, LinkedIn and other publications to broaden awareness about this approach and its benefits to our secondary students. We look forward to increased opportunities to work with you!
