Students will learn how to integrate the core elements while developing and analyzing their own ideas about what constitutes best practice in literacy instruction. An important goal for this course is for students to understand diversity and how to effectively meet the needs of all learners. The end goal of this course is for students to be confidently prepared to design a literacy block and implement a literacy curriculum that engages and meets the needs of diverse learners.
