The authors present a framework for conducting professional development cycles based on disciplinary literacy-related learning and district-based research projects they have conducted over the past five years.  The book outlines the steps in the cycle and identifies four “working habits” essential to initiating and sustaining disciplinary literacy projects: balancing content with process; creating a culture of adaptation and invention; attending equally to intermediate and subject-specific literacy skills; and positioning teachers and leaders as learners within projects. The book, written in a reader-friendly voice, shows how educators can collaboratively explore and implement disciplinary literacy-related practices in context-specific, meaningful ways.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50770108678417,"sku":"CIN168253068XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51191860789521,"sku":"CIN168253068XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52074180870417,"sku":"NGR9781682530689","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/168253068X.jpg?v=1763473160"},{"product_id":"critical-disciplinary-literacy-book-christina-l-dobbs-9781032553610","title":"Critical Disciplinary Literacy","description":"This accessible book introduces a new theory of critical disciplinary literacy (CDL) that merges criticality and disciplinary literacy approaches in a cohesive and inclusive framework. There are unique hurdles in integrating critical and culturally sustaining approaches to literacy into specialized content area classrooms, but this book provides clear, research-grounded strategies and methods that will appeal to teachers and help them foster equitable literacy learning opportunities for all students. Using a critical lens, chapters deconstruct and reconstruct pathways for new practices that push back on familiar, normative literacy approaches in the disciplines. Authors provide a framework for designing new approaches to disciplinary literacy both for and with students, and they present innovative and practical strategies for implementation. With real-world examples from the field, this book will be essential reading for preservice teachers and in courses on literacy and disciplinary instruction.  With vignettes and classroom examples from educators who have been enacting elements of CDL practices for years, this book will be essential reading for preservice educators in courses on both literacy and content instruction. Furthermore, current and seasoned educators and educational leaders will find this book to be an invaluable resource as they wrestle with how to teach disciplinary literacy in ways that move away from approaches that have historically marginalized many voices to approaches that include and center students’ languages, histories, and cultures.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51017987752209,"sku":"NIN9781032553610","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51215921479953,"sku":"NGR9781032553610","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52598537552145,"sku":"NLS9781032553610","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53476153295121,"sku":"CIN1032553618VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032553618.jpg?v=1751047951"},{"product_id":"until-every-woman-is-free-book-christina-l-dobbs-9781666952438","title":"Until Every Woman Is Free","description":"In this volume, women in academia use autoethnographic methods to document and unpack their experiences as women of color in the academy.  Many higher education institutions have made public-facing, explicit commitments to diversifying and retaining faculty of color, yet research continues to document how, even under these changes, the experiences of faculty—especially women—of color have changed minimally, if at all. Through the use of duoethnography and other autoethnographic methods, this edited collection highlights the voices of women of color in academia from a range of university settings, developmental career stages, and professional trajectories, providing a space for women of color to process their own experiences navigating, surviving, and thriving in white male-dominated academia. The contributors featured in this volume offer important insights into how institutions of higher education could better support women of color professors.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52100892328209,"sku":"NGR9781666952438","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53079290020113,"sku":"NLS9781666952438","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781666952438.jpg?v=1757091258"},{"product_id":"critical-disciplinary-literacy-book-christina-l-dobbs-9781032555133","title":"Critical Disciplinary Literacy","description":"This accessible book introduces a new theory of critical disciplinary literacy (CDL) that merges criticality and disciplinary literacy approaches in a cohesive and inclusive framework.
