This course is designed for practicing teachers to futher enhance their skills and knowledge in teaching literacy and technology,and to develop their research skills. Mathematics is highly conceptual and process-oriented. Reading and writing thus play a critical role in the mathematical learn- ing processes. This course focuses on current research on strategies to help students become proficient in reading and communicating in mathematics, and activities that enhance literacy skills while building mathematical ability. Content topics are chosen from the current secondary school curricu- lum, and students will learn to intergrate literacy into the teaching of mathematics. A particular focus of the course will be the evaluation and synthesis of current research trends in the field of literacy in mathematics. There also will be a strong focus on reflective practice through a videotaped lesson and self assessment. Fieldwork may be required for some candidates, as determined by the Program - Coodinator.
