Literature for All Students: A Sourcebook for Teachers.
California State Dept. of Education, Sacramento.
As part of an ongoing dialogue among teachers in California high schools, this sourcebook addresses some of the issues involved in teaching English/Language Arts at the secondary level. The sourcebook is divided into eight chapters, and begins with an overview answering questions concerning the California Model Curriculum Standards (MCS) for English and Language Arts. The second chapter discusses the philosophy and background of the reform in English Language Arts, and the third and fourth chapters focus on the administrator's and teacher's roles in implementing the MCS. Chapter 5, "The Classroom: Literature for All Students," proposes a process approach to reading and writing; chapter 6, "The Student: Collaborative Learning," focuses on active student participation in the learning process; chapter 7, "Assessment: Student Progress in Understanding Literature," discusses assessments emphasizing process and product; and the final chapter, "Resources," presents information about books, films and videos, computers, statewide instructional/professional development centers, and funding. (Fifteen illustrations are included, and a list of 1985 California Literature Institute participants, narratives explaining the charts in chapters 1 and 4, lessons for Eugene Ionescu's play "The Rhinoceros," and a selected bibliography of related documents are appended.)
