Strategic Literacy Initiative Mission
The Strategic Literacy Initiative is committed to improving learning outcomes for middle school, high school, and college students by assisting them to become powerful, strategic, and independent readers.

Fostering Engaged Academic Literacy for Adolescents
• Dispositions for engagement in academic tasks– Curiosity, tolerance for ambiguity, persistence, stamina,
confidence• Text-based problem-solving capacities• Discipline-based literacy practices• Resilient learner identities
– Code breaker stance“When we ask students to learn something new, we ask them to become someone new” (Feldman, 2004).

The Reading Apprenticeship Framework
Metacognitive routines make normally invisible reasoning processes visible and available for assessment, modeling, and coaching during reading, problem solving, and inquiry activities.
WestEd.org
The Reading Apprenticeship Framework• Draws Current Literacy
Research into a CoherentInstructional Framework– Metacognitive monitoring
and control– Abundant supported
reading opportunitieswithin academic disciplines
– Collaboration and group work
WestEd.org
The Reading Apprenticeship Framework• Addresses Developmental
Needs of Adolescents– Identity and belonging– Self-exploration– Competence
• Addresses Motivation– Support– Challenge– Choice
WestEd.org
• Builds Skills & Knowledge– Explicit instruction of
comprehension strategies– Reading/writing connections– Language study– Discipline-based literacies
• Fosters Dispositions for Academic Learning– Stamina and persistence– Tolerance for ambiguity– Code breaker stance

Design Principles in Professional Development: Inquiry-Based PD
• Connections to teachers’ experience, disciplinary commitments, and expertise
• Practice “making thinking visible” with varied subject area texts and investigations
• Collaborative, metacognitive learning experiences embedded in content that models target classroom practices
• Opportunities to explore student reading and thinking in the context of content learning
• Tap teachers’ disciplinary knowledge

Reading Apprenticeship: The Research Base
In cross-sectional data, students in Reading Apprenticeship classrooms performed better on state standardized tests in biology and English language arts and reading comprehension. An analysis of scores by demographic group found statistically significant increases in test scores for white, Latino, and English learner students in the intervention classes.
National Science Foundation Study: Integrating Reading Apprenticeship® and Science Instruction in High School Biology
This research study tested the impact of Reading Apprenticeship® teacher professional development on teacher knowledge and skills, instructional practices, and on student achievement in science and reading.

Instructional Practices: What Makes a Difference for Literacy?
Reading Apprenticeship teachers in the NSF and IES studies provided more:
• Reading in class with support; • Collaborative meaning making;• Metacognitive inquiry; • Practice of comprehension strategies
and disciplinary thinking; • Mentoring and modeling;• Formative assessment; and• Differentiation to support all
learners.

Key Lessons Learned about Scaling Up Inquiry-Based Professional Development
• Two-way learning between between local leaders andSLI national office improves program adaptation intelligence
• Facilitating nuanced inquiry-based professional development requires iterative practice and apprenticeship
• Communications and messaging is crucial and complex

RAISE Teacher Voices
In my classroom, students are reading a greater amount of text and are more actively engaged with text. As a classroom teacher, I have also become more cognizant of demands different kinds of text place on our students. As a result, I am offering far more in the way of direct reading instruction and practice. Instead of simply conveying information to my students, they are constructing their own knowledge through reading, critical analysis, and writing.
They are working harder, learning more content, and developing greater literacy skills as a result. What has been fascinating to me is how many students have become more confident.
WestEd.orgWestEd.org
RAISE Student Voices"When I first started this class I was scared. I have discovered that I have the courage to read stuff that I couldn't read. I'm more confident. Also I need to work on spelling.”
"When I used to read and I didn't really understand it, I use to completely stop. Now when I don't understand the text, I think.”
"My reader identity is getting a lot more knowledge into it and that makes me feel like I am a smart young man who can do what ever I set my mind to and what ever people say will not hurt me because I know I have the knowledge to school them.”

Flying planes need well provisioned airports, air traffic controllers, skilled pilots and crews, smooth and well lighted airstrips, connections to other transit, and clear regulations.
This is a BIG job
