Reading and Writing for Critical Thinking

Authors Kurtis S. Meredith and Jeannie L. Steele have developed and successfully implemented instructional change in over 30 countries, employing reading, writing, speaking, listening, and thinking as tools for learning across all content areas. This book offers their literacy-based professional development program, guiding readers through experiences in instructional practice and content learning. Readers are encouraged to be active participants in their own professional development by engaging with the text and tasks presented, which ask readers to activate prior knowledge, engage in predictions, ask questions, and track their own learning experiences and progress. Drawing upon themes of interestedness and collaboration, the book guides readers through a professional development journey offering activities, examples, framework strategies, and reflection points to facilitate the process of implementing instructional change.Temple is the author of 'Reading and Writing for Critical Thinking', published 2007 under ISBN 9781412918145 and ISBN 1412918146.
