About the Book

This collection combines scholarship, reflection, and practitioner stories of classroom teaching. It begins by reporting the results of a survey of 86 college faculty and staff regarding breakthroughs in their teaching of reading and proposes three tentative threshold concepts and what the editors call a meta-concept undergirding those threshold concepts. Contributors from writing studies, English, first-year seminar, chemistry, biology, psychology, mathematics and other disciplines describe their strategies for engaging college students in reading in their disciplines, sharing what they have learned from their years of experience using the Reading Apprenticeship framework in the classroom. Chapters that elaborate on that framework and on the tensions of academic apprenticeship round out the collection. The collection is motivated by the question, How do we help college students become independent learners in their disciplines? In it, the editors and contributors argue that we do so by supporting students in learning from texts. In order to do so effectively, college faculty must recognize reading as a problem-solving process, encourage and support students in taking responsibility for the intellectual work in their classes, and create strong classroom communities that help students develop identities as scholars. When we truly engage in a reciprocal academic apprenticeship with our students--valuing what they bring to our disciplines as much as what our disciplines offer them--we transform our classrooms and the academy itself. The authors in this collection illustrate this difficult and rewarding work with stories of and reflections on the practices in their own contexts that begin to make this shift.

He is a member of the steering committee for the CSU Expository Reading and Writing Curriculum (ERWC) and the CSU English Council. His research focuses on teaching for transfer of learning, reading and writing pedagogy, and assessment. He has a BA in English from San José State University, an MA in English and American Literature and a PhD in Composition Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Nika Hogan Nika Hogan is a Professor of English at Pasadena City College (PCC). She helped to develop the First Year Pathways program at PCC, which was awarded the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office Award for a Student Success Initiative. Since an intensive period of learning and apprenticeship from 2007-2010, she has coordinated the college level work on Reading Apprenticeship for WestEd. From 2011-2023, she supported the California Community Colleges Success network (3CSN) to design and facilitate professional learning for educators across the 116 California community colleges. Her passion is building capacity and helping educators and students alike reach their full potential. She holds an MA and PhD in English with a focus on U.S. multi-ethnic literatures. She lives in Altadena, California with her wife, teenage son, and two incorrigiable terrier mutts.

Before then she taught elementary through graduate students in San Francisco, Korea, Hungary, Thailand, and Mexico. Rebecca has a BS in Biology, concentration Botany from San Francisco State University and an MA in TESOL and certificate in Language Program Administration from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.

Review :
This collection makes available a rich and multi-dimensional pedagogy for the “messy” art and “risky business” of reading in the college setting. Faculty teaching online or in person, across first year courses and into the disciplines—particularly in the sciences and mathematics—will find the ideas and attitudes modeled here extremely valuable for addressing students from diverse backgrounds as active and intelligent learners. I urge college teachers to read and learn from the authors’ wise stories. Be prepared to be challenged and inspired by these testimonies of teachers of history, chemistry, math, writing, ESL, librarianship, and more who have integrated Reading Apprenticeship into their practice. These candid accounts of change, growth, and hard-won rewards are simply fantastic-- as are the rich and wise principles that underlie this cogent method of teaching and learning. Read this book and spread the word! This book offers compelling accounts of how the Reading Apprenticeship framework supports students' work with disciplinary texts. In arguing for three conceptual thresholds that faculty must cross to use reading effectively in their courses, this sweeping collection outlines a transformative teaching practice that has the potential to help students gain the discipline-specific literacy skills they need to succeed in college and beyond. It's a must read for faculty across the disciplines. This collection situates the Reading Apprenticeship program within the college classroom. Faculty from many disciplines will find this work engaging, practical, and thought provoking.
