GED 8053 - Literacy Connections in the Classroom II: Assessing and Enhancing Student Understanding

Literacy Connections in the Classroom II is the third in a series of degree completion courses developed to meet the specific needs of Hamline University MAT license completers. Building on the learning opportunities in Literacy Connections in the Classroom and students’ Summer Literacy Institute experiences, this course works to deepen candidates’ understanding of how to formatively assess student understanding and to plan effective instruction based on that assessment. Special attention will be given to vocabulary instruction and one’s ability to help students understand the academic language inherent in the content therefore leading to deepened comprehension. This course culminates the student’s work with research and academic writing as they complete and present the MAT degree completion final project(s).
