SEED 450 - 7-12 Reading and Content Literacy

Common Course Number & Description
This course explores methods for teaching middle and high school students to read, write, think, and learn in ways that allow them to master the subject matter and meaningfully apply their understanding.  Participants learn to plan lessons that teach content and nurture greater literacy.  Pre-, during-, and post-reading strategies are explored, along with assessment methods that give students a continual view of their literacy progress and achievement.  Classroom adaptations for culturally and linguistically diverse populations in the content areas are also addressed.
