LTED 685 - Literacy Practicum/Seminar

This course provides a second opportunity for degree candidates to teach learners who need support to grow as readers and/or writers. They use the appreciations, understandings, and knowledge they gained throughout their programs at an increasingly more sophisticated level. In addition, they will display the habit of using exemplary teaching practices and reflecting on action in action more independently than they did in LTED 680/627. The seminars will be devoted to adding to the students knowledge base and having them acquaint their peers with the focus of their Teacher Action Research Project (TARP). Twenty hours of fieldwork will be completed observing and participating with a certified literacy specialist in a school setting, approved by the program director. Students will begin to prepare their portfolio and continue working on the TARP, both of which are completed in LTED 690. 20 hours fieldwork required. Program Director approval required. Students must pre-register with the Clinic Director prior to the formal registration period. Failure to pre-register may preclude registration for the practicum. Students cannot register for this course through NazNet. Program director will provide approved list to the Registrar’s Office, who will complete the registration process.
