Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, EDU Teaching and Learning.
This paper aims to support a multiliteracies pedagogy in equitable literacy programs. With the nature of literacy changing, schools should also change how they approach literacy. Through clarification of the definition of literacy and equity, a pedagogy of multiliteracies is suggested to be used to teach this new definition of literacy equitably. By reviewing roughly the past 20 years of elementary setting multiliteracies research, the author shares what a multiliteracies pedagogy has the potential to do to support equity in both theory and reality. Issues regarding implementation are also reviewed to discuss potential obstacles in effective use of what could be considered an equitable pedagogy.
