Abstract | In an increasingly globalized world, in which demographics suggest that the U. S. population is becoming increasingly diverse, educational institutions are focusing almost exclusively on "learning outcomes" and generally ignoring "learning incomes"--i.e., what students bring with them when they come to school. To mitigate this trend, the author draws on his work with Michelle Hall Kells to describe a "cultural ecology model" that provides the tools students need to become "transcultural citizens." The author considers how a move from writing across the curriculum to writing across communities in elementary and middle school classrooms--and through it, the teaching, learning, and use of writing in communities outside of school contexts--can be integrated into such a model. This essay is an attempt to think through how that might be done. (Author). |
