Accomplished teachers value the dynamic classroom setting as a source of information about their own instruction and pedagogical principles and practices in literacy development. They have a deep understanding of literacy and offer students challenging and meaningful learning opportunities. In this course, teachers investigate the language arts curriculum to update their knowledge and understanding as informed by curriculum standards from national organizations. Teachers examine multiple models and approaches for teaching and assessing learning in literacy development and the examination of the relationship of literacy to achievement in all areas the curriculum. Stress is on phonics, skills of comprehension, and the interrelatedness of all areas of language arts instruction: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
