ABSTRACT

We present a version of the Biographic Literacy Profile that integrates contemporary understandings of literacy and learning from a humanistic perspective of students as social actors and teachers as biographers. We explore how the Biographic Literacy Profile 2.0 is built on the notion of a Learning Biography as the telling of a literacy life story. We consider how a Learning Biography represents learning identities and present findings from two studies to argue that the Biographic Literacy Profile 2.0 is a tool for teachers to use to capture and present manifestations of learning.
