in the 21st Century Classroom
“In Wisconsin, disciplinary literacy is defined as the confluence of content knowledge, experiences, and skills merged with the ability to read, write, listen, speak, think critically and perform in a way that is meaningful within the context of a given field.”

Overarching Idea:
Students demonstrate their content knowledge and ability to communicate clearly through reading, writing, speaking, and listening as part of a content literate and collaborative community.
KEY Concepts for Educators to Grasp:
1. Academic learning begins in early childhood and develops across all disciplines when educators collaborate to enhance student learning; academic learning is enhanced when students think critically around information, maintain a critical stance, and employ that stance.
2. Content knowledge is strengthened when educators integrate discipline-specific literacy and 21st Century Skills into teaching and learning.
3. Communication and critical thinking improve when content-rich learning experiences motivate and engage students.
