EDTE 245 - Assessment and Instruction for Culturally Sustaining Literacy Leadership

3 unit(s)
Literacy teaching and learning is driven by an inter-related ecosystem of state and local assessments, frameworks and benchmarks, and literacy programs. Mandates are created at the state level, which then frame decisions made at the local level, without full consideration of the cultural and linguistic diversity served by various districts throughout the state. To best serve diverse student populations, literacy educators need to develop the knowledge and experience required to analyze each component of the ecosystem, take a leadership stance, and advocate for variations in assessment, instructional methodologies, and materials that best serve their unique students and community.
