Professional Research in Literacy Learning

Catalog description

In this course, the candidates will learn about designing and implementing an action research project that will be conducted during their participation in the MARI program. The topics for the research will emerge from questions generated by in-class discussions, professional language arts interests, a broad review of the research on literacy, and discussions of theories related to literacy instruction. The questions will launch individual and/or group investigation with application to the candidates' classrooms through the process of action research - a systematic process of inquiry.
