EDUC 3240 - Teaching Toward Equity in English Language Arts

4 Semester Hours
What does literacy really mean? In this practice-based exploration into sociocultural perspectives of literacy in upper elementary/middle literacy education (grades 3-9), students design, implement, and evaluate learning experiences that foster children’s literacy development across content areas and furthers their engagement, comprehension, and interpretation of multiple texts and genres. Students work directly alongside youth to assess reading and writing development and devise/apply a repertoire of responsive strategies that facilitate children’s abilities to read, write, draw, talk, and dramatize their understandings of
the world.
