Program activities emphasize clinically-rich experiences, evidence-based practices, and technology-infused learning activities. Literacy candidates’ growing understanding of theories of multiple literacies across the curriculum sponsor authentic learning and assessment experiences.
Recognizing that literacy is a multi-faceted tool which enriches learning in all subject areas, we draw on the new literacies lens to integrate technology into innovative and traditional traditional learning activities. The program enhances teachers’ understandings of reading-writing-listening-speaking visualizing performing connections.
Graduates are proficient in promoting the effective use of skills and strategies with students from diverse backgrounds who become confident, independent, successful lifelong learners.
