Is literacy everyone's business? A case study exploring the enactment of a whole-school preparatory to Year 12 common language approach to literacy education
Description
At a time when literacy is purportedly everyone’s business, the study’s focus was on one Queensland Preparatory to Year 12 metropolitan state college as a case study site for a practitioner-based inquiry. The study explored teachers’ reported understandings of literacy and their experiences in enacting a whole-school common language approach to literacy. The findings identified some consistencies in their prioritisation of and commitments to literacy, representing just some of the complexities involved in a whole-school approach. Further contestations revealed different definitions and understandings of literacy and the challenges surrounding cross-curriculum implementation, which have future implications for teachers, educators, administrators and policy-makers.
