Abstract

[This chapter outlines a project in initial teacher education that is designed to produce effective professionals, able to exercise the agency and values that promote flexible, adaptive self-expanding and evidence-informed professional knowledge. The Strathclyde Literacy Clinic is modeled on the idea of a Law Clinic, where student lawyers work to ensure justice for disadvantaged groups. In the Literacy Clinic, student teachers work to provide excellent literacy teaching for young children who live in poverty and who have experienced difficulties learning to read. In doing this, the student teachers develop their understanding of disadvantage and of how children learn to read. Most importantly, they learn that effective literacy teaching can change the trajectory of a child’s life.]
