Cultivating & Integrating Literacy Across the Curriculum by Howard Slepkov

Episode notes

In order to effectively reach an increasingly diverse student population, teachers need to understand where their students have come from and what their lives must have been like at an earlier time. We are no longer on the same wave length as our students. Teachers need to read books like this to try and be able to see the world through the eyes of their students so that they can reach them and help them learn. Teachers cannot advocate and preach about reading unless they read themselves and this gives them a place to begin their reading.
