Reinventing Curriculum by Linda Laidlaw
A Complex-perspective on Literacy and Writing
Linda Laidlaw explores what happens when children begin to write. She offers new information about writing and literacy pedagogy linked to research in the complexity sciences and cognition, and considers the possibilities for pedagogy when alternative metaphors, images, and structures are considered for writing and curriculum.In this book, Linda Laidlaw explores the questions: What happens when children begin to write? Why is it that the teaching and practice of writing seems at times to be difficult in schools? How might teachers work differently to create more inviting spaces for developing literacy? The premise is that written texts and literacy processes are developed within a complex "weave" of particular contexts, or ecologies, and the unique particularity of the learner's experiences, histories, memories and interpretations. Laidlaw offers new information about writing and literacy pedagogy linked to current research in the complexity sciences and cognition, and considers the possibilities that might emerge for pedagogy when alternative metaphors, images, and structures are considered for writing and curriculum. The volume includes qualitative and narrative description of writing and literacy situations, events, and pedagogy, and elaborates the historical, theoretical, and curricular background in which such instruction exists within contemporary schooling. |
