Literacy Faculty
Our faculty are influential in setting the national agenda of improving the success of children living in poverty through research, school and district-wide interventions, serving on NGO’s boards, consulting, and authoring textbooks for pre-service and in-service teachers. The faculty are engaged in improving instruction in urban schools through projects like the award-winning Memphis Literacy Academy and the federally-funded Memphis Striving Readers Project, as well as working with other school districts across the nation. Seminal books are authored by our faculty, such as Technology to Teach Literacy: A Resource for K-8 Teachers, Literacy in Times of Crisis, Handbook of Research on Digital Tools for Writing Instruction in K-12 Settings and Content Literacy Strategies for Improving Student Achievement. The Literacy faculty is widely published in a variety of scholarly journals such as: Curriculum Inquiry, Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, Journal of Latinos in Education, Journal of Literacy Research and The Reading Teacher.
