Adolescent Literacy, Field Tested

Chapters address the challenges today's middle- and secondary-grade teachers face, spanning the content areas, and illustrate effective teaching methods for both the general secondary student population and individual populations such as struggling readers, English-language learners, and African American learners. In addition, chapters highlight a model high school environment, a forward-thinking professional development program for secondary educators, effective practices of award-winning teachers, and recommendations for progressive inservice PD programs.

Special features for busy teachers include lesson ideas in a quick-read format, questions at the end of each chapter to extend and apply your thinking, and suggestions for professional development.
