Description
This course will focus on equipping teacher candidates to use instructional approaches, materials, assessments, and an integrated, comprehensive, balanced curriculum to support student learning in reading and writing across the disciplines with a focus on disciplinary literacy supported by the foundations of the science of reading. Teacher candidates will be engaged with literary practices that develop awareness, understanding, respect and a valuing of differences in our society, as well as those which support dual language learners. Teacher candidates will continue to develop an understanding of the elements of creating a literate environment in early childhood and elementary settings.
