Research School Network: Disciplinary Literacy Exploring the evidence and practical approaches

Recommendation 1 from the EEF’s, Improving Literacy in Secondary Schools is: Prioritise ​‘disciplinary literacy’ across the curriculum.

Disciplinary literacy is an approach to improving literacy across the curriculum. It recognises that literacy skills are both general and subject specific, emphasising the value of supporting teachers in every subject to teach students how to read, write and communicate effectively in their subjects. 

In this webinar, we’ll look at the concept of disciplinary literacy, before exploring concrete examples of how it might work in reading and writing.
