Sinopsis

Whether you're a teacher new to science or a veteran teacher of science, here's a powerful new tool for teaching the subject through language literacy. This book explains how-how instructional synergy and power result from combining the two subjects. And it shows how-how teachers can use practical classroom techniques for combining these subjects at different grade levels, from elementary to high school.

Unlike other books that concentrate on reading and writing, this book defines "literacy in science" as more encompassing: it includes speaking, listening, and media analysis. In chapters devoted to each of these literacy skills, authors Marlene Thier and Bennett Daviss detail specific metacognitive techniques that teachers can use to coach students to become independent learners. By combining science, language, and guided inquiry, teachers can empower students to think and express themselves about science more effectively, improving their learning and retention. To this end, the authors provide lists of explicit performance expectations in each of the five areas of literacy for learning science. Reproducible pages including these performance expectations, graphics, and other metacognitive aids can be used by teachers and students alike to guide and assess growth in the use of language through science activities.

In addition to helping teachers in their daily teaching practices, The New Science Literacy addresses more widespread concerns among today's science educators, including the needs

to reassert the rightful place of science in a basic curriculum

to strengthen teaching skills and strategies among elementary educators unsure of science content and/or the teaching of language skills

to help middle- and high-school science teachers raise student achievements in science by using language as an essential element of their science programs

to enhance the movements for accountability, standards, and educational improvement.

As Harold Pratt, President of the National Science Teachers Association, confirms, this book "places the development of language literacy in the context of inquiry-based, activity-oriented science instruction called for in the National Science Education Standards....[It] embraces the richness and usefulness of language as a germane aspect of students' science learning experiences."

As part of this program, she authored a publication entitled: "Linking Science and Literacy" and co-authored, with other educators, the other nine teacher enhancement guidebooks. She has also been an adjunct professor of education at California State University, Hayward, where she specialized in preparing teachers of reading and science, chairing several conferences and institutes for teachers' professional enhancement in science. She developed and coordinated the Issue-Oriented Elementary Science Leadership program for elementary teachers, which was funded by the National Science Foundation. She continues to work in Hong Kong where she works with teachers to help them use the materials she developed as part of Sustain US, the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Curriculum Project for the Hong Kong Middle Schools, which was developed through STYL (Science Technology Youth and Literacy), of which she is a principal investigator. She has published more than 14 journal articles in addition to the Delta Special Education Science Series and developed the Student Journals as part of the Science Curriculum Improvement Study program.
