Assessment, Evaluation, and Instruction of At-Risk Readers

Catalog description

This graduate seminar integrates advanced literacy theory with applied supervision to prepare educators to lead reading instruction in diverse and specialized contexts. Grounded in the Science of Reading, students analyze foundational literacy development, assessment practices, and instructional design, then apply this knowledge through structured observation, coaching cycles, and data-informed planning. Emphasizing special education and intervention frameworks, the course cultivates reflective practitioners capable of diagnosing literacy needs, supporting teacher growth, and implementing responsive, evidence-based instruction.
