Summary
« This book offers a guide for improving teaching, learning, and literacy in content area classrooms. Edited by two experts on the topic, Content Matters introduces teachers to the Disciplinary Literacy instructional framework developed by the Institute for Learning at the University of Pittsburgh. Grounded in the Principles of Learning that were developed by educator Lauren B. Resnick, the framework is designed to prepare students in grades 6 and up to master the rigorous academic content learning required for college success.

The content chapters offer cases of teachers and students in middle and high schools working together in English/language arts, history, mathematics, and science.

Comprehensive in scope, the book also shows how school instructional leaders can support teachers in learning and using this instructional approach » --
