The emphasis in this course is teaching literacy to all elementary school language learners across all content areas. This course is based on the premise that reading, writing, listening, speaking, and viewing are integral components of language processing and literacy. It uses these understandings to teach both the content and process of language acquisition and literacy development. Principles and structures of language are taught through the process of language use. That is, language skills are taught and modeled in context, then applied to the teaching of language arts in the elementary school. Prerequisite: Edu 301. Fl, Sp-3-

This course is intended to provide adolescence education candidates with the ability to utilize the interrelationship of disciplined knowledge to further student understanding about how the world functions. Math, science, social studies, English, and foreign language education candidates will examine the common foundations, conceptual overlaps, and areas not addressed by conventional school subjects, but inherent within the broad spectrum of academia. Through a concept-driven approach, groups of interdisciplinary candidates will develop student learning activities and unit plans, which may be implemented in classroom settings. The intent is to develop reflective educators who can collaborate to use a variety of integrated teaching strategies that are inquiry-based and will address the needs and development levels of all learners. Prerequisite: Lit 396. Sp-3-

3.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to develop understandings about the nature and function of diagnostic and evaluative processes in literacy instruction. A primary focus of study will be on the application of information derived through diagnostic procedures and making decisions about instruction. Instructional procedures will be developed and implemented with individual students. Prerequisite: Lit 311. Fl, Sp-3-
-
12.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to introduce candidates to current approaches, materials, and methods for teaching literacy in the middle and secondary grades. This course will include an overview of the processes of reading and writing. Instructional strategies for promoting literacy within content areas will be discussed and demonstrated. Prerequisite: Admission to Adolescence Education major. Fl, Sp-3-

3.00 Credits
Analysis of real world data through elementary statistical methods and mathematical models will illustrate the range and power of mathematics to gain understanding of our natural world. The course includes topics from the areas of data analysis, growth models, social choice, and management science. Fl, Sp-3-

3.00 Credits
A mainly geometrical study of symmetry facilitated by the examination of patterns from various cultures and works of art. Patterns are created by the repetition of a small fundamental design. Those slides, turns and flips (isometries, i.e., functions that preserve distances) that leave a pattern unchanged interact in ways that lead naturally to the abstract, yet fundamental, concept of a group. This course studies such symmetry groups and their use in classifying material culture. Two key concepts are composition of isometries and color-consistency. Prerequisites: high school algebra and geometry or equivalent. Fl, Sp-3-
-
3.00 Credits
Factoring, rational expressions, solution of equations and inequalities, functions, applications of functions, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions, solution of exponential and logarithmic equations. Prerequisite: high school Sequential Math III or equivalent. Fl, Sp-3-
-
3.00 Credits
This course is the first of a two semester sequence designed for the prospective N-6 and N-9 teacher. Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the mathematical curriculum recommended by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards. Topics include: sets, numeration systems, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and number theory. A hands-on problem solving technology based approach will be emphasized throughout Mat 106 and 206. Students must pass an arithmetic competency test. Prerequisite: high school algebra, Fl, Sp-4-
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to prepare a student for Mat 210. Topics include solutions to equations; inequalities; algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Prerequisite: Mat 104 or satisfactory score on a placement test. Fl, Sp-3-
-
3.00 Credits
This is a course in critical thinking, based on mathematical probability and logical analysis of arguments. Probability, with applications ranging from card and dice games to public opinion surveys; deductive mathematics; formal logic. The course includes analysis of readings drawn from the classics of science and recent writings on population, pseudoscience, and public affairs. Prerequisite: high school algebra II, NYS Course III, or equivalent. Fl, Sp-3-
