EDU202 Teaching Strategies for Literacy Learning
This course provides an understanding of fundamental principles of instruction in reading, writing, listening, and oral communication in the classroom. Students will explore pedagogy and assessment to meet the needs of diverse students using a balanced literacy framework. Students will analyze and reflect on instructional methods of teaching phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, guided reading, and writing. Students will learn to draw from the Massachusetts English Language Arts Common Core Standards to meet the objectives of the course. Classroom observation experiences are required of all students for a total of 15-hours.
PLEASE NOTE: Since field observations take place in area educational settings, students may be required to complete a criminal background check (CORI/SORI/CHRI).
