This workshop introduces a concept called revolving literacy. Revolving literacy prioritizes future-ready skills and competencies that students need to develop to participate in local and global communities. Through a series of interactive activities, participants learn about and reflect on the top-ranked future-ready skills needed within the vast job market of today and in the future. Participants will identify areas in which students exercise future-ready skills in academic and social spaces, and consider ways in which curriculum and instruction can reflect the future-ready skills shared within the presentation. Explanations about how curriculum and instructional practices in secondary classrooms need to reflect the identities and future pathways of students are shared. Participants also engage in a think tank about the new literacies they explore in the workshop and the importance of relevance and student engagement in secondary classrooms.
