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:
- 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.
- To develop a vision of teaching and learning
consistent with the goals identified in the Wisconsin Model Academic
Standards.
- 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.
