Content Area Literacy: Learners in Context
Autor Mark W. Conleyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 iul 2007
Due to ongoing advancements in technology, new demands of higher educational standards, state testing and the diverse needs of today’s adolescents, the field of adolescent literacy is rapidly changing. Content Area Literacy: Learners in Context provides teachers with tools for using content literacy to meet these demands by focusing on the learners and their unique contexts. Using cutting edge research in the field, Dr. Conley not only presents research-based teaching practices, but also connects the practices to learning strategies for students. As a result, instructors no longer have to “invent” practical applications or “suggest” learning outcomes for students. As Dr. Donald Deshler from the Center for Research on Learning states “Dr. Conley has done a brilliant job of describing the context within which educational solutions must be generated and the form that these solutions must take in order to be embraced by teachers as well as to be sufficiently powerful to significantly improve student outcomes.”

Conley: Content Area Literacy, 1/e
Dr. Donald Deshler from the Center for Research on Learning Sums It Up Best:
“Dr. Conley has done a brilliant job of describing the context within which educational solutions must be generated and the form that these solutions must take in order to be embraced by teachers as well as to be sufficiently powerful to significantly improve student outcomes.”
Using the unique Learners in Context framework, top literacy researcher Mark Conley sets the new standard for content area reading textbooks. This new and much-awaited text provides teachers with tools and techniques for helping adolescents develop a full complement of literacy skills necessary for learning across all content areas in today’s environment.
Due to ongoing advancements in technology, new demands of higher educational standards, state testing and the diverse needs of today’s adolescents, the field of adolescent literacy is rapidly changing. Content Area Literacy: Learners in Context provides teachers with tools for using content literacy to meet these demands by focusing on the learners and their unique contexts. Using cutting edge research in the field, Dr. Conley not only presents research-based teaching practices, but also connects the practices to learning strategies for students.
Your colleagues are talking up a storm about Content Area Literacy:
“This text presents a strong integration of theory, research and practice. It is the best on the market. My students will appreciate the writing style, abundant strategies, and current research. Teachers will appreciate the extra guidance in making accommodations for English learners and special needs learners. It is a wonderful addition to all content teachers’ libraries.”
Terrell Young, Washington State University
“This [text] is very well done, well-researched, and provides a comprehensive treatment of the learner, of content, and of the many instructional considerations and strategies that can positively influence students learning — in all content areas for really, all grade levels.”
Kathy Misulis, East Carolina University:
“The classroom scenarios are a definite aid in understanding the various pedagogical approaches presented in the text. The research briefs offer sound reasoning and support for the pedagogical approaches presented.”
Alyson Naquin, Nicholls State University
“I particularly like how ELLs, struggling readers, and motivation are addressed throughout the book rather than in one chapter.”

Caracteristici
- A clear focus on instruction that produces learning results in research-based teaching practices that are grouped and explained according to their potential for developing learning strategies in students.
- The strategy-based How to Plan… features in every chapter consists of practical lesson plans that illustrate the principles in the book.
- Teaching Today’s Learners feature in every chapter focuses on the diverse nature of students, and how to meet their needs. Each feature provides practical examples — what motivates students, the world of technology — connected to today’s adolescents.
- Connecting Standards and Assessment features discuss important topics in the area of standards and assessment and provide helpful suggestions for working within the high-stakes, standards-based environment of today’s schools. Each feature is correlated to Conley’s Connecting Standards and Assessment through Literacy text, also published by Allyn & Bacon.
- At various points in the chapters, Research Briefs present important data and conclusions about student learning and effective teaching strategies based on the latest research.
- Unique chapters on “Guiding Students Critical Literacy” (Chapter 10) and “Building Community from Inside and Outside the Classroom” (Chapter 12) explore content literacy from a worldview, providing a perspective that reaches out to parents and the community for promoting literacy and learning.
- An emphasis on the home and school contexts that influence learning provides an overview of modern literacy challenges, including No Child Left Behind, changing teachnology, the diversity of students, and the central role of assessment.
