We found that videos, interactive activities, and discussion forums were features of the online platform that fostered critical teacher reflection. Also, as teachers engaged with literacy content, they sought out new ways of understanding concepts of word analysis and invented spelling and reflected on how their course learning might apply to meeting the needs of diverse learners.

In this conceptual article, the authors argue that although these critiques are exaggerated, the current climate provides an opportunity for teacher educators to reflect on their ways of talking about word reading with teachers. The authors propose answers to nine questions, derived from recent conversations with teachers as they navigate conflicting messages about reading. To answer these questions, the authors describe a model of word reading, the Sound-Spelling-Meaning (SSM) model, and related instructional routines that are consistent with current evidence. The SSM model offers teachers and teacher educators a consistent language for talking and learning about word reading processes. It can be useful in teacher education to guide discussions of how words eventually become effortless for readers, the pivotal role of spelling in reading development, and the role of context in word recognition.}, journal={Reading & Writing Quarterly}, year={2020}, month={Jul} }

Our findings are organized around four design tensions that help us consider what it takes to re-imagine the ‘ofcourseness’ that dominates traditional approaches to tiered intervention in schools. These design tensions are: (1) competing priorities in student learning; (2) compromised forms of inquiry-based instruction; (3) negotiating how texts are chosen; and (4) complexities of responsiveness. These tensions underscore the messy challenges that must be addressed in school reform efforts related to reading intervention for older elementary readers. }, journal={Improving Schools}, year={2020}, month={Sep} }

There are many ways to interpret this book, but for us, it is a journey through a sociospatial landscape. CJ’s landscape is not just a backdrop for his experiences.

Although something seismic happened to the field when teacher education found its way into the National Reading Conference/Literacy Research Association (Dixey Massey, personal communication, December 21, 2017), it remains a topic that is grossly underrepresented in editorial statements and in literacy research across the life span of the Journal of Literacy Research (JLR, previously known as the Journal of Reading Behavior, or JRB). Because of our commitment to the topic, we focus this editorial statement on the topic of teacher education. As we have done in our preceding statements in this volume, we reviewed the editorial statements of our predecessors, looking specifically to see if and how they addressed notions of teacher education. Out of the JRB/JLR previous editorial statements we reviewed, only 11 statements included attention to teacher education (inclusive of preand in-service teacher education).

Her influence is evident in recent publications of Journal of Literacy Research (JLR; see for example, Ehret, Hollett, & Jocius, 2016; Muth, 2016; Tanner, 2017) and several sessions at the 2017 annual meeting of the Literacy Research Association, including a study group titled “Knotty Articulations: Wrestling With Posthumanism, Intersectionality, and Justice in Literacy Research.” In celebration of the 50th volume of the JLR, we engaged in a re-view of the previous editorial statements (Volumes 1 49).

La transicion TAKS–STAAR es un fondo contextual inimitable para estudiar el rol de los examenes de lectura y escritura encargados por el estado en la evaluacion y el medio ambiente de aprendizaje en las escuelas primarias y secundarias. En este estudio, sirviendonos de informacion recogida en entrevistas extensas, detallamos las practicas de instruccion centradas en examenes relacionadas con la lectura y la escritura que se evidenciaron durante la transicion y las incertidumbres sobre la instruccion en si que fueron suscitadas por la implementacion de las nuevas evaluaciones. Tambien proponemos tres conceptos que ayudan a explicar como es que las practicas de instruccion centradas en examenes mantienen su hondo atrincheramiento en la alfabetizacion: la evasion de transferencia, la particion administrativa, y la aceptacion de inferencias extralimitadas. Aunque la transicion descrita en este articulo es especifica a una region de los Estados Unidos, los resultados tienen ciertas implicaciones para investigaciones futuras en otros trasfondos.

Au cours de l'annee academique 2011–2012, les ecoles publiques du Texas ont commence a administrer les Evaluations de preparation academique de l'Etat du Texas (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness; STAAR) de la 3e a la 8e annee, qui remplacaient l'ancien systeme, l'Evaluation des connaissances et des competences du Texas (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills; TAKS). La transition TAKS–STAAR offre une toile de fond contextuelle unique pour etudier le role des tests de lecture et ecriture imposes par l'Etat pour l’evaluation et les environnements d'apprentissage des ecoles primaires et secondaires. Dans cette etude, en partant de donnees d'entretiens a grande echelle, nous detaillons les pratiques pedagogiques centrees sur les tests relatifs a la lecture et a l’ecriture rendues manifestes par la transition et les incertitudes resultant de la mise en place du nouveau test. Nous proposons egalement trois concepts qui permettent d'expliquer ce qui fait que les pratiques centrees sur les tests demeurent profondement implantees dans l'enseignement du lire-ecrire : l’evitement du transfert, le cloisonnement gestionnaire, et l'acceptabilite des inferences excessives. Quoique la transition decrite dans cet article concerne specifiquement une region des Etats-Unis, les resultats presentes ont des implications pour les recherches a faire dans d'autres situations.}, number={3}, journal={Reading Research Quarterly}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Davis, Dennis S. and Willson, Angeli}, year={2015}, month={Mar}, pages={357–379} }

The author argues that MCSI is a multifaceted instructional approach that takes on many different forms in the research literature. Even intervention studies that ostensibly examine the same brand of MCSI can have drastic variability in content and pedagogy. The author claims that independent and self‐regulated reading practices are underemphasized in this literature despite strong conceptual roots in self‐regulation and metacognitive learning theory. Finally, the author concludes that many MCSI studies present a proceduralized view of strategic reading, characterized by repeated use of common strategies taught to students in a prescribed sequence. While previous reviews and critiques of the reading comprehension literature have focused on the effectiveness of MCSI and the way it has been inadequately translated into typical practice, this article comments on the way MCSI is carried out in the intervention literature itself with the goal of understanding the pedagogical features that are prioritized by MCSI researchers. The interpretive remarks in this article provide directions for future work on reading comprehension instruction.}, number={2}, journal={Review of Education}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Davis, Dennis S.}, year={2013}, month={Jun}, pages={194–224} }

Fifteen upper-elementary and middle school teachers participated in semistructured interviews designed to uncover their beliefs about the forms and functions of classroom assessment. Observational data were collected in the teachers' classrooms. The findings show that while teachers have complex understandings of classroom assessment, their assessment environments are not optimal for supporting students' development of SRL habits. Teachers tend to see themselves as the initiators and controllers of assessment opportunities, prioritize attainment of content information, and value written assessment products over practices that generate intangible data. The authors describe these trends as consequences of the competing audiences teachers have to satisfy with their assessment practices.}, number={3}, journal={The Journal of Educational Research}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Davis, Dennis S. and Neitzel, Carin}, year={2011}, month={Apr}, pages={202–215} }

In this view, strategies eventually enter students' heads after repeated interactions with teachers who introduce strategies and control how they are used. In this article, the author discusses the limitations of the internalization view and proposes an alternative model of strategy learning. It is argued that learning to read strategically is really a process of learning to participate in textual interactions using the language and procedures of strategic readers. The author lays out specific components of strategy learning consistent with this participation view, including: coming to view reading as a strategic process; mastering the procedures and dialogue of strategic reading; and considering the possibility for resistance of the strategic reading identity. He describes key issues made evident by the participation metaphor that teachers should address as they continue to teach comprehension strategies.}, number={2}, journal={Theory Into Practice}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Davis, Dennis S.}, year={2011}, month={Apr}, pages={100–106} }
