Abstract:
Teachers involved in New Zealand research conducted to develop forward-looking literacy pedagogy explained they needed ongoing support to make their new practices sustainable. This article responds to that request. We begin with a whistle-stop tour of the rapidly evolving literacy landscape, briefly reviewing key concepts of critical multiliteracies and the four resources model as we develop a rationale for the design of curriculum literacies. Next, we focus on one visual text to demonstrate how teachers can design curriculum literacies using the four resources model. Suggestions for collaborative curriculum literacies design conclude the discussion.
