ED 7002 - Foundations of Literacy Credits: 3
Description This course engages the teacher practitioner in examining literacy as an evolving language process among his or her students. The focus of this course will be on the communication aspects of literacy, which include the listening, speaking, reading, and writing that are a part of the teacher practitioner’s classroom. This course also has a strong research component where teacher practitioners will analyze, synthesize, and evaluate current trends in literacy education. Teacher practitioners will be given opportunities to reflect upon and examine their own integration of literacy activities in their content area classrooms. Emphasis will be placed on topics such as: constructing meaning to convey information, the role of explicit instruction, vocabulary enhancement, assessing language, and the importance of literature enrichment.
