GE 6046 - Reading across the Curriculum/English Learner (EL)

This course is the sixth of seven courses that comprise the University’s Reading Specialist Program.  The course will begin with the development of a definition of disciplinary literacy and its criticalness. The course will continue through exploring strategies that are effective within specific disciplines, followed by effective alignment to the PA Core Standards. Educators will learn how to embed culturally responsive practices into instruction and how to involve families in the learning.  At the conclusion of the course, teachers will have created lesson plans that are PA Core aligned, rigorous and meeting the needs of all students.  This course is essential for any teacher who is responsible for reading and writing instruction including elementary teachers, special education teachers, literacy coaches, principals, curriculum directors, and other administrators.
