EDMS 464 - Teaching Reading to Struggling Learners and Older Students Fall,Spring

Institution:

Sonoma State University

Subject:

Description:

Philosophy, goals, and pedagogy in reading and language arts in grades 3-8. Designed for student teachers to refine and extend their knowledge of language arts instruction, reading and writing, and other literacies, this course builds on and extends candidate experience and knowledge developed in EDMS 463 Teaching Reading and Language Arts in the Elementary School to Younger Students. Candidates examine literacy development and teaching/learning processes in order to design, teach, and assess literacy lessons in their classrooms and promote literacy with older readers, struggling readers, and second language learners using assessment data, state content standards, and a range of materials. In addition to an emphasis on reading and writing across the curriculum, particular focus is given to the arts as a way of knowing and expression, including dance, drama, visual and performing arts. Candidates develop understandings of transmediation, the process of recasting meaning through literature and the arts. In addition, candidates complete field assignments that provide opportunities for first-hand knowledge and application of classroom literacy practices and course concepts derived from foundational literacy sound research. In addition, the role of inquiry, reading frameworks, literacy-rich environments, graphic aids, vocabulary development, and assessment strategies will be examined. Grade only. Prerequisite: EDMS 463.
