Ever wondered why literacy isn't just an English teacher's job? Well, we found the perfect guest to answer that - Haili Hughes.
A true educational powerhouse, Haili has extensive experience in education, from teaching English for 16 years to now being a Director of Education at Iris Connect, a prolific author of many educational books, and a Mentor Lead at Sunderland university, overseeing the mentoring of thousands of teachers.
In this episode, we discuss the significance of disciplinary literacy and what it means for schools, as well as the nuance and significance of other types of literacy and higher level thinking around curriculum planning that schools could consider in the future.
We also grapple with the undervalued and often neglected topic of grammar in education. Sharing from our personal encounters with grammatical training, or the lack thereof, we underscore its significance across various disciplines. We advocate for the amplification of student voices across disciplines through effective grammar teaching and discuss the importance of early adopters in championing this cause.
The conversation doesn't stop there, though. We also address the significance of literacy research in the teaching profession. From bridging the gap between theory and practice to the role of knowledge organizers, we touch on all aspects critical to effective teaching.
As our engaging talk with Haili comes to a close, we enthusiastically anticipate her new book and promise to keep you updated about its launch. This episode is packed with insights that promise to redefine your understanding of literacy in education.
Come, let's rethink literacy!
