Concurrent enrollment with ELE 3340 and ELE 3290 or permission of department chair. Unit Theme: Educator as creator of effective educational environments: integrating students, subjects, strategies, societies and technologies. Course Description: Diagnostic procedures and materials in reading for teachers in self-contained and departmentalized classrooms from kindergarten through junior high/middle school. Field-based experiences. (3-0-3) Prerequisites & Concurrent Enrollment: ELE 3281 for Early Childhood Option; ELE 3280 for General and Middle School Options; or permission of department chair. University Teacher Education requirements apply and department requirements for enrollment must be met. Course Purpose: The overall goal of this course is to provide future teachers with the knowledge base necessary for appropriate use of diagnostic teaching procedures and materials of reading instruction within the regular classroom, from kindergarten to junior high/middle school. Emphasis will be based on understanding how students learn to read, strategies for improving an individual student’s reading achievement, and how to become an informed diagnostic-prescriptive teacher of reading. Future teachers will be made aware of factors that support student learning or place students “at risk” and some ways to manage these variables in the regular classroom. Course Textbooks: Rubin, D. & Opitz, M. F. (2007). Diagnosis and improvement in reading instruction (5th ed.). Boston: Pearson/Allyn and Bacon. Roe, B.D. & Burns, P.C. (2007). Roe/Burns informal reading inventory (7th ed.). Boston: Houghton Mifflin. Supplemental Materials: Class Packet Teaching Model: The Information-Processing Models • Information-processing models emphasize ways of enhancing the human being’s innate drive to make sense of the world by acquiring and organizing data, sensing problems and generating solutions to them, and developing concepts and language for conveying them. The Social Family Models: Building the Learning Community • When we work together, we generate a collective energy that we call synergy. The social models of teaching are constructed to take advantage of this phenomenon by building learning communities. Essentially, “classroom management” is a matter of developing cooperative relationships in the classroom. The development of positive school cultures is a process of developing integrative and productive ways of interacting and norms that support vigorous learning activity. Joyce, B., Weil, M., & Calhoun, E. (2009). Models of teaching. (8th ed.). Boston: Pearson. Dispositions: Teacher candidates in the Department of EC/ELE/MLE will exhibit professional ethical practices, effective communication, and sensitivity to diversity, the ability to provide varied teaching practices evidenced in a supportive and encouraging environment. Live Text Assessment Requirement: For those classes with Live Text or Practicum- If the portfolio or Live Text requirements are rated, by the instructor, to have been completed in less than a satisfactory manner then no more than a "D" may be earned in the class regardless of the number of points earned.
