This is a video introduction to Dr. Alfred W. Tatum's work with disengaged readers, especially African-American boys and young men.
Dr. Tatum is an excellent resource for learning about making curriculum and instruction relevant and engaging for adolescent students. At a time when literacy resources are focused on early primary grades, his focus is on middle and high school students. He makes several good points in this short less than three minute video, such as "[i]t is not simply about students' literacy development, it is about students' lives."
