Operationalizing the Access –Voice–Choice Framework for Equitably and Justly Teaching the Language for School Literacy
AbstractWhile research unequivocally points to the need to teach the language that supports participation in reading and writing activities in middle-grade classrooms, many educators grapple with how to create the instructional conditions that promote equitable and just opportunities for students to learn the Language of School Literacy (LSL).
