Documenting the teaching and learning of critical literacy as it is practiced at EVC gives a snapshot of the impact it has on the students’ creative, analytic, and social capacities.Critical literacy is both an educational strategy and a cultural practice.
It seeks to address concerns of developing a civically active “articulate public” that has the intellectual capacity to engage in collective dialogue and inquiry into the most pressing social problems; and to develop a literate public empowered to “name
the world” in order to transform it.
