Literacy Policies for Equity and Inclusion

Al Ryanne Gabonada Gatcho

Policies play a pivotal role in shaping literacy outcomes by setting educational standards, allocating resources, and defining instructional methodologies that influence how literacy is taught and assessed across different educational contexts. However, the dynamic nature of society necessitates the constant revisitation of these policies to adapt to evolving technological advancements, cultural shifts, and emerging pedagogical research. Without such continual reassessment, policies risk becoming outdated and ineffective in addressing contemporary literacy challenges. Furthermore, integrating the perspectives of various policy actors can lead to more comprehensive and effective literacy policies. By embracing this inclusive approach to policy development and revision, education systems can enhance their ability to support diverse learning needs and improve overall literacy skills for all students. Literacy Policies for Equity and Inclusion investigates the growing debates and pressing issues surrounding the (re)creation, implementation, and evaluation of various literacy policies. It explores the perspectives and experiences of different stakeholders regarding existing literacy policies, effective policies for addressing or mitigating literacy disparities in different environments, and how new or revised literacy policies can be effectively integrated into educational systems to produce tangible improvements. Covering topics such as gender sensitivity, discipline literacy, and 19th century English literature, this book is an excellent resource for educators, school administrators, policymakers, social justice advocates, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
