In this Classroom Caffeine Podcast episode, Dr. Shea Kerkhoff talks to us about adolescent literacy, student engagement, and how teachers can support middle and high school students as readers and writers in today’s complex literacy landscape. As a university professor and former high school English teacher, she draws on years of experience working alongside adolescents to help them develop the reading, writing, and critical thinking skills they need to thrive in today’s digital, global world. Her work blends cognitive and sociocultural research, field-tested strategies, and innovative teaching practices to make literacy learning relevant, engaging, and equitable for all students.
