LYST 212 - Family, Community, and School Literacies: Cultural Perspectives
Semester Hours: 3
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.
