EDC&I 530 Approaches to Literacy
SLN 19727

This course explores various models of literacy instruction used in schools in research. Specifically, we examine the theoretical underpinnings of each approach, the nature of instruction, and resources needed. The purpose is not to determine the best approach; it is to understand the conceptual and pedagogical tools associated with each so that educators can use them most effectively with students. This course is intended for students who have had previous coursework in literacy, in-depth professional development, or several years of experience teaching literacy.

 EDC&I 505C Seminar in C&I: Formative Assesment as a Resource for Learning
SLN 12805

Assessment is ubiquitous in education, but its potential for directly supporting students' learning is often not realized. In this course we will think through the nature and role of assessment as a resource for students' learning. In the process, our goal will be to create a variety of such assessment tools to use in science and mathematics classes. We will begin by considering the multiple purposes of assessments and the general principles governing assessment design. We will then examine the goals for student learning that are represented in current science and mathematics standards and consider how they may be supported through assessment. Aspects of student learning to be addressed include understanding domain content, reasoning and problem solving, processes of inquiry, metacognitive reflection, and collaborative knowledge-building. We will consider a number of ways in which assessments can support these aspects of students' learning. These include introducing authentic assessment activities, providing diagnostic feedback to students, fostering students' participation in self and peer assessment, creating and evaluating portfolios, and supporting teachers in adjusting their instructional strategies to meet students' needs.
