Course Overview
Dave Stuart Jr. cuts modern literacy instruction down to what actually matters most: six key areas — motivation, knowledge-building, argument, reading, writing, and speaking. His case is straightforward: if these six things can be taught effectively across disciplines, students will have the tools to flourish in and out of school.
Drawing on his experience as a high school teacher and professional development leader, Stuart walks you through tested methods and research-backed practices for each area. This isn’t a reading course or a writing course — it’s a framework for building literate thinkers in every content area, from social studies to science to math.
