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 Clinic is required.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
Completion of Phase I courses in M.A. in Teaching of Writing , LYST 240  and 262  .
