Advanced Literacy and Math Practices for K-12 Students with Persistent Academic Challenges

Catalog description

This course prepares teacher candidates with theoretical frameworks and practical applications of evidence-based practices in the areas of literacy and math. Teacher candidates deepen their understanding of various developmental, remedial, and compensatory literacy and math evidence-based practices, critically analyze them, and apply their learning with students with disabilities in K-12 settings. These skills allow teacher candidates to identify students who may experience school failure in the areas of math and literacy if they do not receive instruction that is responsive to their needs, evaluate and monitor their teaching effectiveness, and improve learning outcomes. Candidates have the opportunity to work directly with 9-12 learners through a tutoring program to apply practices learned in the course. Lect. 2, Lab 3. Prerequisite: SPE 300 ; admission to teacher education. Offered Fall, Spring.
