Overview of Critical Literacy

Step 3: Focus on an aspect of your practice

What if you were establishing a literacy program for evacuees of a major hurricane with flooding. What might be the components of the program? Consider all the elements: philosophy, presuppositions, and goals; program structure; curriculum and materials; teacher development; teacher-student relationship; and evaluation.

Based on your analysis of your practice in Step 2, identify one or two areas (philosophy, presuppositions, and goals; program structure; curriculum and materials; teacher development; teacher-student relationship; and evaluation) to consider changing. Write down a plan for making those changes. List the evidence or data you will collect to determine if the idea worked.
