[ProfessionalDevelopment 1847] Re: Big Names in Literacy?Bruce C bcarmel at rocketmail.comTue Jan 8 13:26:10 EST 2008
Dear Greg and the list: What a fun question to answer. Off the top of my head, here are some of the big names who have been helpful to me in my 20+ years in the field. I am sure I have left some good ones out. (I am a progressive-education, student-centered, participatory-learning kind of guy, by the way): General learning and language acquisition including written language: Vygotsky Bruner Dewey Piaget George Kelly Labov Shirley Brice Heath Teaching--not neccessarily for adults but useful to me: Frank Smith (probably my #1 for reading) Peter Elbow (writing) Yetta Goodman (reading) Constance Weaver (reading) Lucy Calkins (writing) Sondra Perl (writing) James Moffett (student-centered teaching) More specific to adult literacy: Paulo Freire James Gee Tom Stitch Walter Ong Scribner and Coles Victoria Purcell-Gates Laurence Mishell John Ogbu Michael J.
