Abstract
Building on Conley's (2014) work, I conducted an inquiry with disciplinary specialists across the college campus to learn about disciplinary literacies and to create a corpus of resources to use in my teaching. I interviewed disciplinary faculty in math, English, science, and history. I then edited 30-60 minute interviews down to 12-15 minute videos focused on what I determined would be most helpful to preparing middle grades and secondary teachers. Students viewed and then connected teaching strategies they had learned about in the course to the literacy practices of the disciplines. Their final project was a narrated digital presentation video presenting four literacy practices and strategies to help students develop those practices. The research question that guided this study was: What are the essential literacy practices across history, science, math, and English language arts that middle grades and secondary teacher education professors can prepare their students to teach to their students?
