READ 6602 - Reading to Learn in the Content Areas, Grades 6–12* (3 semester credits)

3 semester credits

To learn and achieve in the content areas, students must comprehend and engage with grade-appropriate and disciplinary-specific texts. In this course, education professionals examine how text changes across disciplines (including social studies, literature study, mathematics, sciences, and other technical subjects) and explore instructional practices to support close reading of complex text as required by the Common Core State Standards and other state standards. Education professionals apply evidence-based instructional and assessment practices to support all students' achievement in literacy and learning. Through coursework, education professionals have opportunities to apply concepts and strategies within specific disciplines to provide a relevant learning experience.
