It’s a pleasure to welcome Dr. Lorraine Radice back to the show. Lorraine is an Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction in a public school district in New York and an Associate Assistant Professor at Hofstra University. Prior to her current role, she was a preK-12 Director of Literacy. 

Lorraine’s book, Leading A Culture of Reading, was a 2023 GOLD Winner for Education in the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year awards. 

Her new book is Revolving Literacy: How to Connect Relevance and Future-Ready Skills to Secondary English Instruction.

We talk about:

• What revolving literacy means
• “Newfound literacies”
• Future-ready skills for grades 6-12
• Future-ready goals and how they relate to goals of the revolving literacy framework
• Defining engagement and relevance
• Student agency
• Teaching students to be readers, writers and researchers
