EDUC 386 - Literacy in the Content Areas for Secondary Teachers: Part I Credit Hours: 4 Frequency of Offering: Offered annually in the spring semester
This course is designed to introduce and analyze strategies for developing the ability of secondary school students to learn from print sources and text materials in content area classrooms across the curriculum. While the focus of these strategies is on reading comprehension and vocabulary development, we consider other best practices and theory based on continuing research in the field. Topics covered include purposes for reading and writing, literacy assessment for data driven instructional decisions, differentiated instruction, and the examination of language and culture in the classroom as related to debates and policy about identity, dialects, equality, and Standard/Mainstream English. This course is a pre-requisite for secondary and k12 candidates to the MAT.
Course Satisfies: Maryland certification requirement in the teaching of reading for secondary and K-12 teachers.
