The Adolescent Literacy KnowledgeBase : Element 2 : Activity 2 : Task 2: Define the Content Teachers Role

Guideline:

Content area teachers play a critical role in improving adolescent literacy. Being aware of the issues associated with adolescent literacy enables content area teachers to participate in instructional strategies aimed at helping the adolescent student improve his or her academic achievement.

This link is to the Literacy Coaches Clearinghhouse (LCC), a joint venture of the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English. As noted at its website, LCC's goal is to "to increase the knowledge base, research, and practice of literacy coaches, reading coaches, reading specialists, and instructional coaches as they engage teachers in coaching as a form of professional learning."

This link is to the Alliance for Excellent Education's report Literacy Instruction in the Content Areas: Getting to the Core of Middle and High School Improvement. It discusses multiple aspects of adolescent literacy development from achieving basic reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension skills to more advanced literacy skills that will enable middle and high school students succeed in academic content areas.

This link is to a National Institute for Literacy document for content-area teachers. As noted in its preface, "this report summarizes some of the current literature on adolescent literacy research and practice."
