The centerpiece for DUSTY is 'digital storytelling,' a compelling, computer-based approach to creating multi-media, multi-modal compositions that marries print with photgraphs, video, music, and audio. Beginning as an after-school program in the basement (hence 'underground') of the Prescott-Jospeph Center for Community Enhancement in West Oakland, DUSTY has expanded to include programs on school sites, such as Cole Middle School and the Castlemont Community of Small High Schools, as well as summer sessions for youth and workshops and classes for adults. DUSTY provides opportunities for participants to read and write poems and stories, create multi-media, multi-modal compositions on computers, make digital beats and music, and learn about photography, all with the aim of helping them acquire computer expertise and communicative knowledge that will serve them well in and out of school. An important component of the program is affiiliation with the UCB Education course 140AC, 'Literacy: Individual and Societal Development.' Undergraduate students who are enrolled in this course serve as mentors and tutors for DUSTY youth. DUSTY also provides the context for research or literacy and learning in alternative educational contexts and for the development of new knowledge about innovative uses of multi-media, multi-modal technologies. | Glynda Hull University of California, Berkeley DUSTY/Language, Literacy, and Cutlure 5627 Tolman Hall # 1670 Berkeley, CA 94720-1670 Last update: 2/2/2005 | ||

| UC Berkeley History -Social Science Project | Summer and school-year professional development programs by kindergarten through college teachers for teachers and administrators, dedicated to improving the teaching and learning of history and the social sciences at all grade levels.
The goal of the professional development services offered by the UCBH-SSP is to improve student learning in history-social science. These workshops cover topics from standards-based planning to historical literacy development. The Project literacy approach introduces teachers to a rigorous text-based approach to reading and writing expository text. Teachers learn to identify the linguistic challenges of historical expository text and learn strategies to address them. These strategies specifically target and help EL and non-standard English speaking students to increase reading comprehension and historical reasoning. The writing workshop breaks down the components of expository writing, helps teachers scaffold student practice activities, shows examples of student writing, and demonstrates how to put it all together into an essay. Fees determined by the scope of the professional development services. Workshop topics: 1. Deepening content area and/or grade level expertise 2. Unit planning: Focus questions, assessment of student learning, planning reading and writing strategies, resources, writing prompts, rubrics 3. Historical Investigation 4. Research-based strategies for identifying linguistic challenges of historical text 5. Discipline-Specific Reading Strategies: Text-based Analysis: Vocabulary, comprehension, evaluating the source 6. From Reading to Writing: Developing critical thinking skills 7. Expository Writing Strategies: Genres, prompts, from expository paragraph to essay to research report 8. Looking at student work: Reflecting and planning strategies 9.
