ED 240/240L - Literacy in the Content Areas and Field Experience

This course is designed for pre-service teachers seeking licensure in middle or secondary schools. The course explores the reading process, writing process, and study skills strategies that students in the secondary school will need for accessing both print and non-print sources in the content areas. Emphasis is placed not only on skills development in the language arts but also on the transfer of those skills in the context of multiple academic disciplines. Students develop skills in planning for integrating literacy into all classrooms while accommodating all learners. To develop a deeper understanding of the coursework students participate in an 8-week placement of 4 hours per week. Must be registered for the course and field experience sections.
