Disciplinary Literacy in the Secondary Classroom

Catalog description

Teacher candidates study the role of literacy in the teaching and learning process in the secondary classroom. They identify strategies to help their students access information, improve comprehension, and communicate effectively through reading, writing, speaking, listening and critical thinking. Teacher candidates develop lessons with an underpinning of the Understanding by Design framework that develop the literacy abilities of their students as well as the content-specific concepts and skills of their discipline.
