EDUX 7070. This course workshop offers teachers practical ways to help their students form rich and informed interactions with literature. Eight teachers from around the country talk about the ways in which they encourage students to become active and effective readers, building strong mental muscles as they place themselves in the world of a text, form impressions of the work, and pose questions that help push their understandings further. The on-screen teachers illustrate their ideas by bringing the viewer into their classrooms as they and their students work together to “make meaning.” The programs are augmented by commentary from noted educational researcher Dr. Judith Langer, who identified these habits of effective readers called “envisionments,” or ever-expanding landscapes of understanding that are formed as students read, write, and talk about texts.
