ED 605 Writing to Improve Literacy
(3 credits)
This class offers an innovative, field-based exploration of reading-writing connections in the middle and high school curriculum. Active engagement in the process of writing includes: 1) How to teach writing as a process in order to improve students’ reading and language abilities. 2) How to develop students’ perceptions of themselves as writers. 3) How to integrate the modes and functions of writing within the school curriculum. There is 30-hour fieldwork requirement for the course (3 hours of fieldwork/week). Students not currently teaching will be partnered with a mentor teacher at local School District middle and high schools.
IMPORTANT: Students must have current background checks on file with the School of Education using online platform, Castle Branch. (See Background Checks)
