This course focuses on research-based approaches to developing content literacy, a critical component for student achievement in the content areas. Students will learn and apply assessment practices, including diagnostic, portfolio, and student self-assessments, which pinpoint students’ content literacy strengths and areas for improvement. Educators also will learn and apply instructional strategies to use before, during and after engaging with content area texts and materials. An emphasis will be on assessing the responsiveness to student’s learning differences (e.g., language, culture, learning styles, multiple intelligences, learning difficulties/disabilities, and giftedness).
