Subject:

Description:

(3) In this course students study and develop techniques for implementing an individualized program in reading for English Language Learners. Literacy instruction will be based on formative and summative assessments of an elementary school child who is learning English as a second language. After a few weeks of classes, sessions will take place off campus at a Westfield elementary school. Teacher candidates will use a guide of ten questions about literacy development to assess an individual student's literacy strengths. Through the strengths of the individual learner, the teacher candidate will devise and implement literacy lessons within the "zone of proximal development" for theindividual learner. The professor will be on hand during these coaching sessions to support the teacher candidate. Prerequisite: EDUC 0303 and permission of instructor.
