Overview
Literacy Education (Grades 5-12) from the State University of New York at Oswego embraces two fundamental, interlocking beliefs: that social justice is served only when all children are successful readers and writers; and that literacy processes are creative and constructivist in nature, requiring students to experience authentic connections to the texts of their lives.
