This session provides an opportunity for literacy conversations and available resources for those involved with college students’ literacy and learning programs. Members from the College Literacy & Learning Special Interest Group of the International Literacy Association will discuss teaching, scholarship, and service projects for professional development.
Small group discussion will include a variety of topics including the dichotomy of content area literacy versus disciplinary literacy (Shanahan & Shanahan, 2012), innovative teaching practices, the effectiveness of critical literacy, and other concerns and issues presented within individual programs and classrooms. Lastly, opportunities for professional development including service and scholarship will be followed by questions.
