Books in the Principles in Practice imprint offer teachers concrete illustrations of effective classroom practices based in NCTE research briefs and policy statements. Each book discusses the research on a specific topic, links the research to an NCTE brief or policy statement, and then demonstrates how those principles come alive in practice: by showcasing actual classroom practices that demonstrate the


policies in action; by talking about research in practical, teacher-friendly language; and by offering teachers possibilities for rethinking their own practices in light of the ideas presented in the books. Books within the imprint are grouped in strands, with each strand focused on a significant topic of interest.

Literacies Before Technologies


Making Digital Tools Matter for Middle Grades Learners Troy Hicks and Jill Runstrom

NCTE’s Beliefs for Integrating Technology into the English Language Arts Classroom position statement in middle grades classrooms. With specific lesson ideas and examples of student work, the book brings the entire Beliefs statement to life while also foregrounding the primary goal that we should consider “literacies before technologies,” creating rich opportunities for reading and writing, enhanced with digital tools.

GRADES 9–12


Reimagining Literacies in the Digital Age


Multimodal Strategies to Teach with Technology


Pauline S. Schmidt and Matthew J. Kruger-Ross


Winner of a 2024 Divergent Publication Award for Excellence in Literacy in a Digital Age Research


Living in a multimodal world can be overwhelming. To prepare students to


produce and consume the multimodal texts made possible through innovative technologies, Schmidt and Kruger-Ross advocate for a slower and more deliberate approach to thinking and planning for teaching literacies. They showcase how technologies can expand, enhance, and inspire the consuming and producing powers of secondary students by examining visual and aural literacies before multimodal literacies. They have embedded the voices and materials of practicing and preservice teachers via QR codes. This book is both reflective and practical.
