EDT 689 Trends/Issues in Reading Ed

Recent and rapid changes to the field of reading education make it difficult for busy classroom teachers to stay informed. This course is designed to introduce the significant issues facing reading teachers and school leaders that may require modification to curriculum, programs, policies, procedures, and assessment of literacy achievement. Class participants will be engaged in discussions on these important and varied issues, will analyze solutions found in the readings, and will suggest solutions based on their experiences. In addition, class participants will review their local classrooms, schools, and districts for the status or the presence of these issues and the steps that may have been taken to resolve them.
