 Active Participation

Anita Archer Strategic Literacy Videos

Dr. Anita Archer is a talented author and beloved teacher of teachers. This video series is one of her many gifts to the educational community. Produced with support from the Sonoma County Office of Education, it is made available at no cost thanks to her generous spirit.  

 

There are several videos in the series which address the importance of Active Participation in Literacy Instruction using a “research to practice” approach grounded in pragmatic real-world application. Traditionally, learning was believed to occur in a passive manner by having instructors transmit content to the learners for them to absorb.  Active Learning involves students in the instructional process by means of such activities as exploring, analyzing, communicating, creating, reflecting, or actually using new information or experiences.

 

Each video is 4 to 10 minutes long and was shot unrehearsed in real time.
