Reading, Writing and Research: Integrating Literacy across the Curriculum
Begins April 20
You'll explore reading and writing skills instruction and information literacy concepts, and learn to effectively integrate these skills into the teaching of other subjects. This course is designed for all K-12 grade levels.
Teachers will identify appropriate reading comprehension and writing skills goals for their students. Teachers will explore simple strategies for skills instruction and apply these strategies within the content area they teach. In addition, teachers will explore information skills, learning to identify, search for and evaluate information — particularly Web-based information.
Teachers will use these new instructional strategies to enhance their own teaching and learn to assess student growth in reading, writing and research skills.
