    Susan Florio-Ruane, Paul Morsink, Maryl Randel, & Chad L. Waldron (MSU) Derek Aguirre & Patrick Morris (RU) Christopher M. Clark (ASU)

    Grown in Detroit: Three Studies of Local DecisionMaking and Activity in Inner-City Literacy
    Lots of good things grow in Detroit, but it is difficult to notice some of them unless you look closely. Like the urban gardens for which Detroit is quickly becoming known, people in the city are working together in various niches to create the fertile ground and mobilize resources to grow students' literacy knowledge and skill. What do these efforts yield? This poster session is organized around that question in three settings. The co-chairs of the session (Aguirre and Florio-Ruane) will overview the session and briefly describe Racquet Up Detroit and the MSU Detroit Area Education Team (DAET), each of which is a context for one or more poster. Florio-Ruane & Waldron's poster presents a study of DAET interns (k-5) learning to make local classroom adaptations to standard Literacy curriculum so that it is more supportive of their students' diverse needs and interests. Randel shares youths experiences, in their own words, of reading in school and also during Racquet Ups innovative Literacy programming. Morris and Morsink describe the design of a summer camp ("RU Connected") that introduced adolescents to a variety of digital tools and digital literacies. Analysis of data from the camp will in turn inform Racquet Up's design of year-round academic supports and enrichment activities for RU students. The posters show that a multitude of approaches to research are used to discover and describe if and how these local projects make a difference. The posters also represent the work of people who are intimately involved in both practice and research in the programs. An educational psychologist, pioneer researcher on teaching, and esteemed teacher educator, Dr. Christopher M. Clark (ASU), will discuss the posters individually and collectively. There will also be an opportunity for open discussions among presenters and viewers moderated by the co-chairs.
