This timely, thoughtful, and comprehensive text directly meets this need. It delineates a literacy practices and critical engagement curriculum framework for 6-12 English language arts education that explains and illustrates how the Standards’ highest and best intentions for student success can be implemented from a critical, culturally relevant perspective that is firmly grounded in current literacy learning theory and research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first 6-12 English language arts methods text to be aligned with the Standards, this book also addresses their limitations — formalist assumptions about literacy learning, limited attention to media\/digital literacies, lack of attention to critical literacies, and questionable assumptions about linking standards and text complexity to specific grade levels.
