Description
|
Arguing that teacher education programs need to foster a broader understanding of adolescent literacy and learning, this book makes the case for incorporating the Reading Apprenticeship instructional model in secondary teacher preparation programs. First introduced in the best-selling Schoenbach, Reading for Understanding: A Guide to Improving Reading in Middle and High School Classrooms, Reading Apprenticeship has received national recognition as an effective, research-based instructional framework for working with ‘struggling’ or disengaged students who have difficulty comprehending academic textbooks across the curricula. This book shows how elements of RA model can be embedded in teacher preparation curricula, offering detailed course descriptions, protocols, exercises, and activities suitable for both pre-service and in-service teachers. The book is based on the research of teacher educators who have successfully integrated RA in their teacher preparation programs.
