Respond to the following topics:
Jang et al.:
1. The authors offer a comprehensive approach, a pentagonal pyramid model, that specifically addresses adolescent learners’ needs and reflects their nuanced sociocultural contexts. What are its elements? Should this be of significance to educators?
Janks:
2. The author argues that critical literacy relies on the interdependence of power, diversity, access, and design/redesign. How does she justify this in this article?
Learned et al.:
3. What is the distinction between remediation as remedy and re-mediation as activity?
4. What do placement policies and practices reveal about our beliefs about students and their capacities as readers and as young people?
5. What do RI curricula, including their oversight, reveal about how we understand literacy and youths as literate beings?
Woulfin, & Gabriel:
6. Explain the three infrastructural pillars for reading instruction.
7. How are curriculum, professional development, and leadership mutually supportive
8. Why is it crucial to attend to the alignment among the pillars as well as their feasibility and transparency?
