On March 17, Oakland Schools hosted the Disciplinary Literacy in Action conference. The purpose of the conference was to showcase the meaningful work happening with disciplinary literacy in classrooms, schools and districts in our county. The day was designed to deepen collective understanding of what disciplinary literacy can look like in secondary school settings. As Berkley Schools secondary (6-12) teachers enter their third year of disciplinary literacy learning they had a wealth of insights to share. In fact, Berkley led the conference with the highest number of sessions presented by any district.
