EDU 330 - Reading and Language Arts III (3)

Prerequisite: Enrollment in the professional term or permission.

In this advanced course, students integrate and synthesize their knowledge of the science of reading and writing. They explore various literacy assessments, including screening, diagnostic, outcome, and progress monitoring tools. Focusing on all students, but especially those who have not yet achieved reading proficiency, students conduct assessments to identify each student’s instructional needs and design individualized intervention plans. Students learn to collaborate with other educational staff, including classroom teachers, special education teachers, speech/language pathologists, interventionists, and ESL teachers to align instructional goals. Students implement their intervention plans and monitor progress to support targeted literacy development that meets state and national standards for the elementary grades.
