Disciplinary Literacy

Catalog description

This module supports candidates in developing their knowledge and skills related to literacy in discipline specific contexts, with an emphasis on culturally responsive texts, evidence based strategies, data based decision making skills, and new literacies to target all students' literacy needs, including those with linguistically diverse backgrounds. Additionally, teacher candidates will collect, represent, and analyze classroom data, and use this analysis to adjust literacy instruction for students, as well as target individual students' needs. Teacher candidates will design and teach disciplinary literacy lessons using data based decision making, as well as technology during lesson delivery.
