EN 302 - Methods for Teaching Literacy in the Content Area Classroom


Credit(s): 3
This course is required for all K-12 and secondary content area majors. It supports the Illinois Professional Teaching Standards (IPTS), Illinois Learning Standards (ILS), and Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in literacy for English/Language Arts, History/Social Science, Science, Math, Art, P.E. and Music. Course content focuses on the preparation of teacher candidates for the responsibility of content and disciplinary reading, writing, listening, and speaking instruction within their classroom. Together, we examine the pedagogical implications of literacy as a cognitive, socio-cultural, and historical practice with emphasis on culturally relevant pedagogy, language acquisition and development, instructional design and assessment, and differentiation for students with diverse needs. Requires Admission to the School of Education.
