ED 641 - Literacy Practicum I

This course involves structured fieldwork in an authentic educational setting, supervised by a University instructor. Students will work with individuals and/or small groups of children or young adults to assess and meet those learners’ literacy needs. In consultation with the instructor, students will apply various assessment strategies with their assigned students, and, based on the resulting information, will plan literacy activities and recommendations for those students. Strategies for sharing information and recommendations with other professionals and families will be included. Students in the Special Reading Teacher and ELL areas of emphasis must have experience in Literacy Practicum I that involves working with learners from a different K-12 age level (age levels are elementary, middle school and high school) than the age level they intend to work with in the ED 651 project.
