LYST 249 - Writing Practicum: Assessing and Supporting Adolescent Writers (Grades 5-12)
Fall, Spring, Summer
This practicum provides a critical site of inquiry for the study of ethnographic
approaches to literacy assessment. Participants create biographic literacy profiles
of writers using close-grained observations of literacy processes (ethnographic
observations, writing document analysis, developmental portfolios, interview and
conferences, etc.) to determine how individuals use writing to solve problems
in community and school settings. Participants develop and put into practice a
student advocacy model of instructional assessment that values ethnic and linguistic
diversity. Emphasis on middle school, high school, and young adult students. A
30 hour practicum at the Saltzman Reading/Writing Learning Inst. is required.
