I am excited this week to be exploring the resources now available from Annenberg Learner and specific to disciplinary literacy. These are videos of students working on developing their literacy skills in a range of core subject areas.
I'm looking forward to being able to use these videos as starting points for conversations with my colleagues and administrators about what literacy looks like in all subject areas, not just English.
I also appreciate that the collection is searchable by discipline and topics like close reading, differentiation, gradual release of responsibility etc. It makes it easy for me to narrow down my search and preview the videos I might want to use.
Full disclosure, the reason I know about this project is because my classroom is one of the many that were filmed for the collection. It's not possible to search by teacher, so if you really want to see me or my classroom you'll need to look here and here, but you may also spot me in some of the expert commentary videos. My classroom shows up as an example sometimes while leading educational researchers talk about current trends in literacy instruction.
If you are a literacy coach, a resource teacher, an administrator, or anyone else responsible for helping teachers implement Common Core or develop student literacy then you will appreciate the resources from Annenberg Learner as much as I do.
By popular demand, direct links to videos from my classroom.
