Wed, November 30, 3:00 to 4:30pm, Omni Nashville, Floor: Level 3, Cumberland 5

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

Disciplinary literacy has garnered significant attention in recent years, but the field is still building shared understandings of disciplinary literacy teaching and learning. In this symposium, we ask: What are necessary facets of disciplinary literacy teaching in secondary school contexts? What does it take for teachers to learn to teach across disciplinary ways of knowing, doing, reading, writing, speaking, and listening? And, how does disciplinary literacy help youth learn to be metadiscursive?
