LTED 622 - Workshop in Literacy Instruction

The course provides the opportunity to explore instructional settings, groupings, and strategies to meet the varying needs of all students. The foci are on all the literacy processes with particular emphasis on establishing and maintaining perceptual veridicality as listeners, readers, and viewers, as well as speakers and writers. The demands of both expository and narrative text are addressed. The course content reflects the realities that what teachers know and can do are critical to what their students learn. The study of the following, therefore, is designed to respond to what teachers need to know and how to do: instructional strategies, structuring learning opportunities and instructional materials that focus on developing appreciation, understandings, strategies, and habits. Students will gear their reading and writing assignments toward their specific level of certification.
