Looking across Space and Time: Reconceptualizing Literacy Learning in and out of School.

Schultz, Katherine

Research in the Teaching of English, v36 n3 p356-90 Feb 2002

Draws on a longitudinal study of urban adolescents' literacy practices. Argues for a focus on students' writing practices both in and out of school to develop a comprehensive understanding of their capacities in the classroom. Suggests the importance of looking outside the physical space of schools and beyond the time that students are in classrooms to see students' capabilities. (SG)
