Description
Timely, thoughtful, and comprehensive, this text directly supports pre-service and in-service teachers in developing curriculum and instruction that both addresses and exceeds the requirements of English language arts standards. It demonstrates how the Common Core State Standards as well as other local and national standards' highest and best intentions for student success can be implemented from a critical, culturally relevant perspective firmly grounded in current literacy learning theory and research.
The third edition frames ELA instruction around adopting a justice, inquiry, and action approach that supports students in their schools and community contexts. Offering new ways to respond to current issues and events, the text provides specific examples of teachers employing the justice, inquiry, and action curriculum framework to promote critical engagement and learning. Chapters cover common problems and challenges, alternative models, and theories of language arts teaching. The framework, knowledge, and guidance in this book shows how ELA standards can not only be addressed but also surpassed through engaging instruction to foster truly diverse and inclusive classrooms.
The third edition provides new material on:
adopting a justice, inquiry, and action approach to enhance student engagement and critical thinking
planning instruction to effectively implement standards in the classroom
teaching literary and informational texts, with a focus on authors of color
integrating drama activities into literature
teaching informational, explanatory, argumentative, and narrative writing
supporting bilingual/ELL students
using digital tools and apps to respond to and create digital texts
addressing how larger contextual and political factors shape instruction
fostering preservice teacher development

Reviews / Votes
"Teaching to Exceed-the book and wiki website-explores everything a new ELA teacher needs to know about lesson and unit planning focused on reading, writing, drama, language, multimedia, and poetry. It does so in ways that are of consequence by engaging with larger contextual and political factors like the Black Lives Matter movement, a global pandemic, and climate change. Ultimately it is its comprehensiveness combined with its commitment to racial, linguistic, and class diversity, as it takes shape in its justice, inquiry, and action framework, that makes this book stand out among resources for preservice ELA teachers."-Mollie Blackburn, The Ohio State University, USA
"This timely and thoughtful new edition provides a strong foundation for excellence in today's ELA classrooms for pre-service and in-service teachers. It combines the best of what we have learned in the field about implementing standards-driven pedagogy with innovative new directions, including the use of digital tools, promoting a justice and inquiry framework, adding supports for multilingual learners and much more. It is a must-have resource for English educators"
