Inquiry Into Equity Practice In A “White Space”: Student-Led Discussions And Academic Discourse, Caran Mullins
Journal of Practitioner Research
In this study I used teacher inquiry to explore how to better engage my Black and Brown elementary students in student led discussions that could enhance academic discourse.

Content Area Language And Literacy, Saadia Ali, Margaret A. Berg
Open Textbooks & Reviews
Content Area Literacy courses have long been a requirement in teacher education programs for pre-service teachers for the secondary level and, sometimes, for the elementary level.

This textbook examines the elements that make up the Simple View of Reading with adjustments …
