Teachers & Technology: New Visions of Literacy Education |
|
Teachers & Technology: New Visions of Literacy Education follows preservice and practicing teachers from university courses to k-12 classrooms. Some of the studies emerging from this project explore individual's knowledge, skills, and dispositions towards the integration of technology into classroom instruction. Studies also explore the ways in which high school English teachers' uses of technology support and/or hinder students' understanding of core pieces of literature. |

Preparing Educators to Teach Diverse Learners |
|
Taking into consideration our nation’s diverse student population and our rapid move towards a digital society, it is imperative that teacher educators understand how to support teacher candidates in developing the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that promote the learning of literacy for all children. In addition, teacher educators need to better understand the pedagogical approaches and uses of technology that would support such learning. For these reasons, this project was designed to inform the field by investigating the following: (a) How do teacher candidates in a literacy methods course respond to the images and stories presented in written and hypermedia video cases; (b) How do teacher candidates’ personal stories and experiences interact with their interpretation and understanding of these cases; and (c) What do teacher candidates’ responses to written and hypermedia video cases reveal about their views of teaching literacy to diverse students. |

Disciplined Based Literacy in Urban High Schools is a multi-year project that is currently being supported by Rutgers Institute for Improving Student Achievement (RIISA), Johnson & Johnson Corporation, and researchers from the Rutgers Graduate School of Education. The project involves the development and implementation of a teacher professional development program that is designed to increase the reading achievement of marginalized, adolescent readers. Further information on the project will be provided as progress continues throughout the year. |
