Abstract

This session brings together ten scholars in conversation with the audience about how the quotidian literacy practices of youth from non-dominant communities can be productively built upon in schools. Each author will briefly describe their work in out of school contexts. In a facilitated discussion, we will consider how schools can both sustain and expand locally-valued culturally practices as well as enhance school-valued literacy skills.
