On today’s episode we’ll welcome Chris Bronke from Chicago as we take a look at different approaches to supporting literacy and communication skills across all subjects areas in high school. One of the barriers we tend to come up against as secondary teachers, is that we don’t necessarily receive formal training around literacy support. It can be difficult to figure out how to diagnose and close reading gaps for students when we don’t have that background knowledge. We are, after all subject specialists, with degrees in math, history, biology,  and so on. That’s what makes Literacy a great place to start because we can all grow together to reduce barriers for our students while supporting the communication skills in our courses.
