Advocacy research in literacy education : seeking higher ground / Meredith Rogers Cherland, Helen Harper.
This book reviews advocacy research in literacy education. It addresses issues such as social justice, equity, democracy and the possibilities for social transformation. The author believes that it is time for advocacy workers to promote the best literacy instruction that facilitates democratic life. The goal of such instruction breaks from traditional instruction which privileges standardized testing, scripted lessons and programs, and a certain type of learning and research.
