Miller (secondary English education, Indiana U. of Pennsylvania) and Norris (English and undergraduate English education, Indiana U. of Pennsylvania) develop the idea of the "loaded matrix," the collection of ideas about teaching English and English teacher education, such as social justice, standardized tests and social justice, that are sometimes to involved and complex to address. They describe the theoretical and practical framework of the loaded matrix and how it affects classroom and school environments, how and if rules are completely necessary in the loaded matrix, how film and critical media services change the loaded matrix through critical visual literacy, whether technology has potential answers, social justice and sociocultural issues, applying the standards and unloading the loaded matrix.
