EDUA 578 - Literacy in Secondary Content Areas

3 Credit Hours
Participants focus on how to facilitate and improve reading, writing, vocabulary, and study skills in a variety of disciplines, genres, and purposes, aligned with Common Core Standards. Content from various disciplines will provide opportunities to read, think and discuss from multiple perspectives, critique a variety of texts, and to integrate literacy skills and strategies across the curriculum. Candidates examine and construct various types of formative and summative literacy assessments and learn to align them with content objectives and instructional standards. They also examine issues related to standardized testing and methods for reporting student achievement as these apply to assessment practices, instructional methods and materials, and media and technology in the content areas. They learn to assist learners with diverse abilities and backgrounds and to analyze content area texts for readability levels and social and cultural perspectives.
