  • Rowland Unified School District Community Mapping & Family Literacy
    The focus of our work together as parents, teachers, community members, administrators and other educational professionals is to map the literacy practices, assets and resources in the community and homes of our students and then develop community relationships and classroom practices that better support our students' learning.  We use mapping strategies and tools, taken from community organizing and ethnography, to uncover the resources in our surrounding community and the expertise in families that can be harnessed to better support students' engagement and literacy learning.

  • Eastern Michigan Writing Project Teacher Research Group
    We are a group of K-college teachers who are committed to inquiring into our teaching--raising questions that intrigue us as individuals, studying our questions over the course of a year by collecting data (like field notes or interviews or surveys or samples of student work) and analyzing that data, and finding ways to go public with our findings.  Most of all, we are committed to changing our practice:  to puzzling out what we can do better to help our students' learning and putting into action what we discover.

We are asking two questions: 1) What is writing in history, its qualities and characteristics? 2) How can we teach students to write that way (using disciplinary literacy practices)?
