Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on how constructivist, language-based principles apply to learning in secondary school content courses. It is an inquiry course focused on two principal questions: (1) What is your relationship to language? Who are you, a prospective teacher, as a reader and a writer? (2) What is the nature of language and what is its place in the teaching/learning process in a secondary school classroom? Ultimately, the purpose is for you to (1) identify and put into practice principles based on the theory that reading and writing generate thinking and learning in the content areas and (2) learn specific reading and writing strategies that encourage students to be active and committed learners in their subject matter fields. Prerequisite: EDU 2010, EDU 2110, EDU 2870. Fall.
