Module 1:  What is Disciplinary Literacy?

Lessons are designed for educators wishing to increase their understanding of disciplinary literacy at their own pace.

Lesson 1.1:  Introduction—Definitions of Disciplinary Literacy 

Lesson 1.2:  Disciplinary Literacy in Action—STEM Enhanced Disciplinary Literacy

Lesson 1.3:  Research—What Do Experts Say About Disciplinary Literacy?

Lesson 1.4:  Planning for Disciplinary Literacy in Your Classroom

Lesson 1.5:  A Disciplinary Literacy Concept Map

Lesson 1:5:  A Disciplinary Literacy Concept Map

 Task 1:  Video of Concept Mapping in the Math and Science Classroom

Watch the video of students using concept mapping to learn mathematics and science.  Reflect:  What evidence is there that the concept map is supporting the students’ understanding?

Task 2:  Disciplinary Literacy Strategy--Concept Mapping

Use your current knowledge of disciplinary literacy to create a concept map for disciplinary literacy.

Task 3:  Other’s Disciplinary Literacy Concept Maps

Examine the concept maps for disciplinary literacy created by teachers and administrators in the IQ-MS Research Project.  How does your concept map compare to the ones they have created?  What adaptations might you make based on your comparison?


Congratulations!
You have successfully completed Module 1.
