Title:
You Need to Realize It in Yourself: Positioning, Improvisation, and Literacy
Problem
A learner’s classroom identitiy doesn’t match the teacher’s expectations.
What Should Be??
It may require the teacher to step back and consider the nature of agency in order to support each individual’s literacy development
We can respond the students whose do not meet our conventional expectation by viewing assigned reading and writing as invitations to take on meaningfull roles, and to remember that such roles are shaped by social dynamics of the classrooms.
Being aware that assignments are opportunities for identitiy work, teachers would do well to consider text as responses to the cultural worlds of our classrooms, school setting, and communities
Freshman Connection (FC) students were all classified as academically underprepared, but they were recruited to fill one of three additional categories
Student athlete
Recruited artist (music, theatre, and art)
A student from a nondominant cultural community
