This study explores possible effects of a critical language awareness (CLA) experiment on preservice teachers’ perceptions about seven measures, includin…

Drawing from a larger study, this article highlights two cases, an expert graphic novel and an expert traditional print text reader, to illustrate how the expanded four resources mo…

The first part of this volume focuses on medieval paper production in the mill districts in Northern Italy, Southwestern Germany, and Belgium.

We conclude by advocating compromise based …

These disparities have often been interpreted as different authors’ varying powers of observation. Using the exampl…
Middle and High School Literacy Coaches
In order to investigate whether published standards for secondary literacy coaches align with the qualifications, roles, and responsibilities of literacy coaches currently active in the secondary setting, the researchers used survey research. Research questions included the extent to which coaches were qualified, the roles and responsibilities coaches perform, and the remaining professional development needs the coaches identified. A web‐based su…
