The Rise Of Infographics: Why Teachers And Teacher Educators Should Take Heed, Katie Alford
Teaching/Writing: The Journal of Writing Teacher Education
How can teacher educators utilize infographics to prepare preservice ELA teachers for the complex task of creating both critical consumers and conscious creators of this 21st-century genre? As what counts as “text” expands because of our digital world, teachers are struggling to keep up with the demands of knowing and being able to support students in both their reading and writing of many new genres. Infographics have proliferated on the internet and have now hit print media, so they are a growing reality in our world today. This article lays out what we know about infographics in education today and …

Teaching/Writing: The Journal of Writing Teacher Education
Writing is an important aspect of literacy regardless of the grade or discipline. State standards have defined the writing genres, crafts, and skills that are to be taught by teachers in PK-12 classrooms. However, in addition to standards, research indicates that a teacher’s own conception of writing is crucial to establishing classroom conditions necessary for young writers to grow, explore and take risks. If this is the job of PK-12 educators, then it is essential for higher education instructors to understand and explore the writing conceptions of teacher candidates. One of these critical conceptions is the motivation to write. The …

The Impact Of Demographics In The Equity Of Global Literacy Education, Saumendra Nath De
The Reading Professor
The right to education has been recognized as a basic human right in a number of international conventions including the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The issues of fairness, equal opportunity, and equity in education, however, continue to plague the educational world. According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (2017), there are 750 million illiterate adults in the world, six out of ten children and adolescents are not learning globally, and low-income countries are home to a disproportionately large share of children and adolescents not learning. A plethora of demographic factors affects equity in education. This article discusses how …

Using Literacy As A Tool To Foster An Understanding Of Content Language Literacy For Preservice Teachers, Patricia M. Durham, Jolene Reed
The Reading Professor
In this qualitative study, data were collected on 60 junior level preservice teachers who utilized a semantic feature analysis chart over a 5-week summer semester study of content language literacy in elementary settings. Viewing literacy as a tool, participants analyzed strategies for the ability to support content language fluency through the use of multiple literacies (i.e., reading, writing, speaking listening, and thinking). Findings indicate that use of the chart helped these preservice teachers build pedagogical content knowledge for the concept of content language literacy as well as to strengthen the ability to analyze teaching strategies that developed fluency in content …

Teacher Candidate Book Introductions, Bethanie C. Pletcher, Robin D. Johnson, Rosalynn Rowan Christensen
The Reading Professor
The purpose of this descriptive multi-case study was to explore teacher candidates' book introductions during their field-based studies in elementary classrooms. The participants were 11 undergraduate students (also teacher candidates) enrolled in a field-based reading course at a South Texas regional university. The lessons occurred in the teacher candidates' cooperating teachers' elementary classrooms. Five sources of data were analyzed using both a priori and open coding to determine themes. The book introductions included information related to the meaning of the text and helping students make connections to text; however, little to no syntactical or visual cue information was included. The …

Returning To The Novel "Planet Of Death": A Chronotopic Exploration, Beverley A. Brenna
The Reading Professor
A rereading of Robert Silverberg's (1967) young adult novel Planet of Death, occurring as part of a qualitative self-study four decades after this book had been a site of independent repeated reading over the course of my Grade Five school year, offers a chronotopic perspective of the literary motivations and habits in one young girl. Mikhail Bakhtin's conceptualization of the literary chronotope is used to identify elements of time and space related to my transaction with Silverberg's book. Seen through a chronotopic lens, reading appears as a compelling travel opportunity in terms of gender, culture, ability, and age. Rather than …

The Reading Professor
With editors such as legendary scholar and visionary publisher, W. E. B. DuBois, and Jessie Faucet, a renowned literary voice of the Harlem Renaissance, The Brownies' Book (January 1920-December 1921) is a publication for the ages. In print just two years, the children's magazine catered to an audience that targeted "all children, but especially for ours, the Children of the Sun" (DuBois, 1919, p. 285). In view of its groundbreaking contributions, the monthly is distinguished as a foundational work in American children's publishing, literature, and literacy. Examination of the short-lived magazine's successes and challenges uncovers and sheds light on its …

Meeting The Training Needs Of Des Moines-Area Adult Esl Teachers, Elyse Pate

The population of immigrants and refugees in Des Moines, Iowa, has grown rapidly in recent years, leading to an increased demand for adult English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. As ESL programs turn more and more to volunteer instructors to meet the demand, it is important that teachers, both volunteer and professional, are prepared and equipped to deliver quality instruction.
This study seeks to better understand the training and professional development needs of Des Moines-area ESL instructors in order to make recommendations for adult ESL programs. Data was collected through surveys of 32 ESL instructors from a variety of …
