LYST 248 - Writing Practicum: Assessing and Supporting Children as Writers
Semester Hours: 3
Fall, Spring, Summer
This practicum provides participants with a critical site of inquiry for the
study of ethnographic approaches to literacy assessment and teaching. Participants
develop biographic profiles of young writers by using close-grained observations
of literacy processes (ethnographic observations, document analysis, developmental
portfolios, etc.) to determine how children use writing to solve problems in community
and school settings. Participants develop and put into practice a student advocacy
model of evaluation and instruction that values ethnic and linguistic diversity.
Emphasis on K-6. A 30 hour practicum at the Saltzman Reading/Writing Learning
Inst. is required.
Prerequisites & Course Notes
Completion of Phase I courses in M.A. in Teaching of Writing, LYST 240 and 262.
