Three Berkley Staff Members are Published Authors in the Michigan Reading Journal

Congratulations to Stacie Angel, Supervisor of Instructional Services, Jen Wilcox, Curriculum Coordinator, and Angie Church, Secondary Instructional Coach, on being published in the Michigan Reading Journal!

The three wrote an article with Jenelle Williams, an Oakland Schools Literacy Consultant, about Disciplinary Literacy work in the Berkley Schools. In the article, the authors describe the various ways they have centered community while implementing disciplinary literacy in the Berkley Schools. They outline how the work began, the role of professional learning, and the systemic approaches that are effectively moving the work forward. This story offers an alternate approach to implementation--one that honors educators' expertise, differentiates approaches, and develops collective efficacy.

Congratulations!
