This is an 8-week course taken concurrently with the methods course EDUC 6632 - Assessment and Instruction to Promote Literacy Development. Both courses align to Minnesota Reading Teacher standards. Education professionals read and view standards-based learning resources, and discuss and apply learning objectives in the methods course. Concurrently, they implement the Literacy Assessment and Instructional Plan (LAIP) project in their clinical setting. The LAIP is designed to bring the course learning and weekly application of the learning into focus via implementation of various assessments with different learners and creation of an instructional plan.
