Acquisition, Development and Assessment of Language and Literacy. This course addresses research-based instructional strategies for teaching literacy (including language development, reading, writing, and speaking) to learners in grade levels PreK-12, as well as, practical and effective modifications for diverse learners (including struggling readers, English language learners, and students with learning disabilities in reading, as well as students with a wide range of disabilities requiring accommodations (cognitive, linguistic, physical, and social)). Formative and summative assessments of emergent and content literacy, including components of literacy (phonological awareness, word analysis, comprehension, vocabulary, fluency) will also be addressed. Also included are factors that influence literacy acquisition as well as life-long literacy for children and adolescents who struggle in literacy. This course is in a hybrid format with four face-to-face sessions alternating every other week with three on-line sessions. In addition, for the duration of the seven-week course, students will meet for an additional three hours a week in a laboratory format where students seeking certification in the area of special education will create lessons, experiences and assessments for students who are diagnosed with disabilities in the areas of literacy and language.
