LYST 212 - Family, Community, and School Literacies: Cultural Perspectives
Fall, Spring, Summer
Participants in this course consider the research on family literacy and explore
pedagogical practices that are sensitive to the local and vernacular literacies
of families and their children. Emphasis is placed on the importance of culturally
responsive literacy instruction and on the importance of encouraging families
to participate in the education of their children who are attending public schools.
Field experiences are intended to provide participants with theoretically grounded
pedagogical practices, which lead to more people working together, celebrating
their own literacies while at the same time using the many forms of literacy available
to them to support the literacy learning of all children in school. A ten-hour
field experience is required.
