Negotiating the Literacy Block: Constructing Spaces for Critical Literacy in a High Stakes Setting
This article focuses on the evolution of the classroom literacy block as a learning space where teachers and students renegotiated activities for independent vocabulary and word work within a high-stakes reform environment. When a second grade classroom teacher and literacy support specialist decided to co-teach, they invited all students in the classroom community to design and manage independent activities.
