Literacy and the Inquiry Cycle - Single Subject

Catalog description

This final semester course aims to solidify the experiential learning cycle as a habit for continuous improvement within candidates’ practices and focuses on evidence-based instructional strategies for structured adolescent and content area literacy as well as subject specific pedagogy. Through coursework, candidates will gain a comprehensive understanding of the critical components for effective reading instruction, based on the science of reading. In addition to the focus on literacy, candidates will continue to explore issues of equity in education and deepen their understanding of differentiation and data-driven instruction within their content area, through self-guided inquiry. Overall, candidates develop a broader repertoire of strategies for differentiating instruction, analyzing data, facilitating student self-assessment, and providing students with effective feedback in order to promote engagement and rigor among culturally and linguistically diverse students. One-on-one field experience support and supervision is integrated throughout the course. Previous Course Code: Reach 251 Corequisite: INT 762
