Adolescent Literacy In Perspective
| |  | | “If language is supposed to be about communication, what is it we are doing when books fail to communicate with our students? I learned about how teachers can reach students with literature through my own experiences as a learner; and those lessons, which I want to share with you, were reinforced by my own experiences as a teacher.” ―Edna Thomas

Access Professional Development Resources
Presenter handouts and resources from the Leading
for Literacy forums (co-sponsored by the Ohio Department of Education’s Office
of Literacy and the Ohio Resource Center) are available online. Middle school and
high school administrators can use these materials to explore and promote
successful practices in educational leadership to create literacy-rich
environments in their schools.
These professional development modules use selected
articles from archived issues of Adolescent Literacy In Perspective to promote
meaningful discussion around key literacy topics. The modules are designed to be
used in two-hour sessions, which include time for teachers to read and discuss the
articles.
Experienced educators provide straight-to-the-point,
practical answers to frequently asked questions about teaching.
These real-world video clips feature Ohio teachers
using different literacy-enhancing techniques to foster student learning and
engagement in their classrooms.
Maximizing instruction in the ways students learn best will
optimize their learning and enhance overall achievement. This section explains differentiated
instruction as a best practice in maximizing instruction, provides examples of differentiated
lessons, and suggests resources for further professional development.
Experienced educators highlight key reading
strategies used by proficient readers and offer suggestions for teaching these
strategies throughout the reading process and across the curriculum.
Sample units of instruction promote literacy and
meet academic standards in English language arts (and other content areas, as
applicable), using timely and relevant lesson topics to enhance student engagement
and achievement.
