Dr. Shelbie WitteAssistant Professor Dr. Witte received her Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on English Education from Kansas State University in 2008. Dr. Witte holds a M.S. in English Education from Kansas State University and B.S. in Instructional Leadership and Academic Curriculum with an emphasis in English Education from the University of Oklahoma. Before becoming a faculty member at Florida State, Dr. Witte taught English Language Arts for twelve years at the secondary level in Oklahoma and Kansas and was recognized for her teaching excellence as finalist for Kansas Teacher of the Year in 2008. Dr. Witte also holds National Board Certification in Early Adolescence/English Language Arts. Dr. Witte’s research interests focus on twenty-first century literacies and multi-modal approaches to adolescent literacy learning, particularly in middle grades. Twenty-first century literacies consider a wide range of communicative abilities such as reading and composing print texts, composing and reading texts in digital environments, and interpreting and understanding non-print texts. Such skills are necessary competencies students must exhibit in complex literate environments. Within twenty-first century literacies, her research explores the intersection of these literacies and literacy pedagogy. Current research projects include a nation-wide study on the implications of revision in digital writing environments to composition pedagogy in secondary classrooms, the relationship between popular culture and representations of literacy, and semiotic analyses of school films as representations of literacy pedagogy and school culture. Her publications include articles in the Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, Voices From the Middle, Classroom Notes Plus, SIGNAL, The ALAN Review, The Voice, Kansas English and the Kansas Journal of Reading. She has been invited as a keynote speaker, conference responder, and conference presenter at many international, national, regional, and state conferences. Dr. Witte continues to serve as the middle-level representative to the Executive Committee of the National Council of Teachers of English, a co-coordinator of the National Writing Project’s E-anthology E-team, and an editorial review board member of several journals. She is also the director of research of the FSU Writing Project.
