EDU 5060 English Language Arts and Literacy in Grades 3-5


Lecture: 4 Lab: 0 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 4
This course advances candidates’ knowledge and skill in reading, writing, speaking, and listening for all students in grades 3-5. Pedagogy focuses on research- based instructional strategies and adds new comprehension strategies to candidates’ explicit instruction repertoire as they build a community of independent learners. Candidates investigate resources, plan and present grades 3-5 English language arts and literacy lessons, practice differentiating instruction and providing feedback, and participate in conferences to discuss their effectiveness. Candidates participate in a field experience that integrates knowledge and skills which allows candidates to demonstrate and apply understanding of the elements of literacy critical for purposeful oral, print, and digital communication for grades 3-5. The required twenty-five hours of field experience enables candidates to apply what they are learning as they carry out small group tutoring and whole class instruction.
