SED LS 790: Literary Assessment to Inform Instruction
The purpose of this course is to explore the theoretical underpinnings of literacy assessments as well as ways in which you can use assessments to identify strengths and needs of your learners. We will examine formal and informal assessments, with particular focus on assessment tools and strategies that provide information about the types of instructional approaches and practices that contribute to students' optimal literacy performances, and as such, inform teaching decisions on a day-to-day basis. 4cr, 2nd sem. -
SED LS 792: Teaching Adolescent Readers and Writers

SED LS 793: Field Experience in Literacy Education: Clinical Interventions
This course focuses on the application of research and theory to practice in school-based instructional settings. Graduate students will continue to develop and apply knowledge of best practices in literacy assessment and instructional intervention to their work with students who struggle in learning to read and write. Students will administer and interpret results of carious screening and diagnostic instruments during individual and small group intervention sessions within schools. They will plan and implement effective instructional interventions based on children's identified areas of strengths and needs. Video analysis will be integrated throughout the semester to prompt a reflective stance toward instruction and to further support graduate students' professional growth. As a final project, students will prepare and share with each child's classroom teacher and reading specialist a final case report the summarizes assessment results and provides a detailed report of the instructional intervention and student progress. 2cr. 2nd sem.
