Instructional Routines To Develop Content Literacy
Reading, Gender, and Engagement
The authors, members of the PISA/PIRLS Task Force, provide a summary of major gender differences in performance found overall on PISA 2009, along with relevant trends since 2000. The five countries represented by the authors are highlighted in this summary, which includes findings related to the interaction of engagement and reading literacy achievement by gender. These data are foregrounded from PISA because they add further evidence of a seriou…

We conclude by advocating compromise based …

Next, salient findings related to engagement from three English‐speaking PISA countries (the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland) are presented. The authors conclude with a di…
Tales Out of School
Guided by the hypothesis that students are most directly affected by—but least often consulted about—educational policy, practice, and reform, the author gathered interview data from students at a high school that was enacting new schoolwide literacy initiatives. In spite of the reforms, student achievement on state tests remained unchanged from previous years. The interview data support the assertion that the success or failure of literacy refor…
Taking Seriously the Idea of Reform
A hard fact of U.S. high school life is that within any classroom the range of reading abilities can be enormous (Hargis, 1997; Stanovich, 1986). This range may be wider than ever today as general education classes give way to growing numbers of inclusion students (Pearman, Huang, & Mellblom, 1997). We became reacquainted with the reality of this situation at Mountain View High School (the school's name and all names of individuals in this
