Transformative Multiliteracies Pedagogy principles:
-
TMP constructs an image of the student as intelligent, imaginative, and linguistically talented; Individual differences in these traits do not diminish the potential of each student to shine in specific ways.
-
TMP acknowledges and builds on the cultural and linguistic capital (prior knowledge) of students and communities.
-
TMP aims explicitly to promote cognitive engagement and identity investment on the pail of students.
-
TMP enables students to construct knowledge, create literature and art, and act on social realities through dialogue and critical inquiry.
-
TMP employs a variety of technological tools to support students' construction of knowledge, literature, and art and their presentation of this intellectual work to multiple audiences through the creation of identity texts.
