Abstract

The WT Clarke Literacy Center was established in 2007 to serve as a common meeting place for teachers and staff of all grades and content areas. Here the teachers can share ideas and learn more about the Balanced Literacy approach. Throughout the past two years, teachers have been visiting the Center to borrow resources which fit their specific teaching needs. Within this past year, the poster maker has made its debut in the Center. With this innovative technology and with the help of our BOCES staff trainer, Joanne Disken, teachers can now scan and create beautiful posters in an array of sizes to add to their repertoire of tools in the classroom.

The Center’s main goal is to provide the teachers of WT Clarke Middle School with a wealth of resources to build a community of successful readers and writers in their classrooms. Keeping this goal in mind, as well as the District’s commitment to Balanced Literacy and Differentiated Instruction, materials are carefully selected to reach each child’s diverse learning style.

Rationale

A Literacy Center is a “must” in order for a successful Balanced Literacy program to exist and flourish within a school. Teachers of all middle school grades (sixth, seventh, and eighth) now have a professional room with an abundance of nonfiction and fiction materials to enhance their curriculum. In addition to these materials, the Center now has a poster maker, which allows the teachers to utilize new technology and incorporate life size, visually appealing posters and graphic organizers to enrich their lessons.

This year, especially, an array of professional materials was added to the Literacy Center. Teachers can now refer to reliable resources, which are current and rich with ideas, suggestions, and explanations centering on both the Balanced Literacy approach and Differentiated Instruction. These professional materials have created camaraderie among the teachers of various grade levels and subject areas as several books have become the topic of discussion over lunch or even in between periods. Moreover, the teachers are sharing a common language, referring to both authors of these materials and common terms and concepts they have learned. One particular favorite among the ELA teachers has been The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller. This particular book has inspired many of the teachers and provided them with new ideas to encourage independent/choice reading among their students. This year, above all, the teachers see their students reading by choice, as well as, sharing authors and titles with peers during personal conversations.
