Tching of Literacy, PreK-4: Process, Skills & Strategies

Catalog description

This course develops evidence-based pedagogical skills in the teaching of reading and the related language arts in grades PreK-4. Keeping with the theory that the communication processes – reading, writing, listening, and speaking – cannot arbitrarily be divided, this course will present pedagogical skills in an interrelated and integrated format. Understandings, teaching strategies and techniques will be consistent with the Structured Literacy Knowledge and Practice Standards of PK-4 Educators and the PA Core Standards for literacy instruction. Throughout this course, students will be expected to exhibit professional behaviors as delineated in Administrative Guidelines for the Assessment of the Professional and Ethical Dispositions of Professional Education Unit Candidates.
