Literacy Across the Content

The first part of a two-semester course sequence examines all aspects of teaching and learning in the American high school. The course examines curriculum, instructional design and assessment, the teaching-learning process and literacy (reading, writing, speaking and listening) as they pertain to the secondary student and school. It also addresses the importance of reflection and refinement in the teaching-learning process, professional development, and leadership in the role of the secondary teacher. Students implement the strategies they learn in the class through field experiences in the high school setting. Offered every fall. (Prerequisites: Admission to the teacher education program and successful completion of EDF 223 and EDF 224. Corequisite: EDF 323.) (Minimum grade “C”)
