Planning Curriculum in English Language Arts

No. 1217, 2001, 450 pp., $45

Planning Curriculum in English Language Arts is designed to draw upon the best ideas and resources from past publications while providing current information on research, theory, and best practice in our classrooms. This guide addresses these major goals:

1. To provide curriculum planners with the information and resources they need to design and implement effective English Language Arts curriculum and the professional development plans to support it.
2. To develop a vision of teaching and learning consistent with the goals identified in the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards.
3. To synthesize proven professional theory and practice with more recent thinking and to present these ideas and resources in a usable format.

The authors of Planning Curriculum in English Language Arts provide an overview of current ideas on language and communication and place these concepts within a standards-based system. These ideas are applied and developed in chapters organized to follow the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards: Reading/Literature, Writing, Oral Language, Language, Media and Technology, and Research and Inquiry. Each chapter provides standards-based resource material, vignettes, and sample lessons relating theory to practice as well as suggestions for families and suggestions for administrators. An extensive glossary provides current definitions of professional terminology.

The model standards in English Language Arts include standards for language, reading and literature, writing, listening and speaking, media and technology, and research and inquiry. While the standards are written for grades 4, 8, and 12, they emphasize the ongoing developmental nature of language acquisition and use. Because communication is vital to all learning, these standards also provide connections within and across disciplines.
