EDU 330 - Language Arts and Reading III (5)

A methods course focusing on an in-depth study and analysis of methods, materials and assessments used by elementary (including early childhood K-3) and middle grades teachers for the teaching of reading and language arts. Instruction centers on teaching reading, writing, listening and speaking in an integrated format. Emphasis is placed on developing effective organizational and management skills for the classroom. In preparation for the student teaching experience, students combine theory, knowledge and skills, practical application, and hands-on materials as they develop their own personal philosophy of teaching reading and language arts. Emphasis will also be placed on implementing state and national reading and language arts standards.
