EDTE 242R - Critical Literacy Student Practicum

3 unit(s)
This practicum builds on the learning of prior courses to offer candidates clinical experience as they develop the art and science of literacy teaching through thoughtful assessment, learning design, and feedback for diverse student populations. The focus is on implementation and integration of prior learning. Candidates will work collaboratively with colleagues to understand research-based instructional practices and develop the skill to draw from these practices artfully and responsively. Students will assess, design instruction for, and teach diverse students at varied developmental levels, with an emphasis on: How students learn to read, how students become proficient readers, the relationship between language, reading, and writing, and culturally and linguistically responsive assessment and instructional tools and strategies teachers can use to assist all students, particularly Emergent Bilinguals and historically underserved students. Candidates will learn the power of professional collaboration among peers to better understand their students and their craft, developing a lifelong professional learning mindset.
