Catalog description

<p>This course focuses on the knowledge and application of qualitative and quantitative reading assessments in the K-12 classroom. Preservice teachers will conduct case studies on students with reading difficulties in order to demonstrate their ability to interpret pre-existing data reports, to select and administer appropriate assessments, and to analyze data to inform reading instruction. By engaging in a systematic problem-solving process, they will identify characteristics of conditions such as dyslexia, provide appropriate interventions and conduct effective progress monitoring. A major emphasis of the course is on diagnosis of reading problems, administration of the assessments, evaluation of results, and planning interventions within a Multi-Tiered System of Support framework.<br /> Lecture, discussion, simulated assessment practice, and a diagnostic case study constitute various course activities.
