Abstract
Review of Collaborative Learning Communities in Middle School Literacy Education: Increasing Student Engagement With Authentic Literacy by Jolene T. Malavasic
Highlights
This concept is the basis for the book, Collaborative Learning Communities in Middle School Literacy Education: Increasing Student Engagement With Authentic Literacy, by Jolene T
As a high school special educator and literacy graduate student, my internal dialogue was afire with connections to adolescents, relationship building, collaborative learning, and the literacy strategies described by Malavasic
From the descriptions and examples included in Collaborative Learning Communities in Middle School Literacy Education, literacy specialists and classroom teachers can incorporate the entirety or components of the literacy workshop in their middle or high schools
Summary
The graduate course is part of a practicum for a master’s degree in literacy at the secondary level at the University at Albany, State University of New York. Graduate students participate in an after-school literacy workshop two times per week at a neighboring middle school, as well as attend a seminar style class after each literacy workshop session. The graduate students create learning communities for middle school students, and they participate in a learning community with their peers in the course. They are gaining specific experiences to prepare them for successful leadership as a reading specialist and/or literacy coach
