Disciplinary Literacy: Communities of Practice I (3) This course explores reading, writing, language, and languaging within specific academic disciplines and cultivates participant understandings of each of these communities of practice. Participants learn the guiding principles and practices within each discipline while also discovering specific ways of thinking within each disciplinary community. They utilize metacognition to unpack their own processes of learning academic vocabulary and reading comprehension within the discipline. Then, participants use this information to create instruction that fosters authentic engagement in each of these disciplinary communities of practice. Grading: A-F only. Restriction: Teaching (MAT) [City Teaching Alliance].
