“There is no better team to teach us about disciplinary literacy than Ippolito, Dobbs, and Charner-Laird. They have the expertise in the literacy practices of the disciplines, as well as a long history of building authentic and enduring partnerships with teachers and leaders. They share both valuable insights and actionable instructional shifts to guide teachers and leaders in helping all students access and engage in disciplinary literacy. Additionally, they honor the voices of students and teachers in all they do. If you read only one book about disciplinary literacy, it should be this one.” - Dianna Townsend, professor of literacy studies, College of Education and Human Development, University of Nevada Reno“Disciplinary Literacy, Inquiry, & Instruction braids constructs like disciplinary literacy, equity, and inquiry in ways that are both explanatory and applicable for addressing the complexity of classroom practice. Foregrounded with rich classroom examples and teacher voices, this second edition promises to be revisited, marked up, and rarely put back on the shelf because it serves as a key tool in advancing students' disciplinary knowledge and skills.” - Michael Manderino, associate professor, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, Northern Illinois University
