Teacher Leaders in training examine the theoretical base underlying the processes of reading and writing. We will explore and extend our own personal models of reading and writing processes and ground this theory, building in close observations of young children reading and writing.
The purpose of this course, which is required for those wishing to student teach overseas, is to help participants examine theories and practices related to intercultural understanding and to develop strategies to teach with a global perspective.
The course prepares teacher leaders for multiple and complex roles. Teacher leaders learn how to deliver initial training courses and ongoing professional support for Reading Recovery teachers. A key aspect of the teacher leader's role is to provide the yearlong course of initial training for Reading Recovery teachers. In order to prepare teacher leaders for this role, attention is given to research, theory and practice relating to adult learners.
This course represents advanced study of the Fall Semester course (622). Students will continue to engage in sensitive observation and responsive teaching focusing on the hardest to teach children. Students will refine and deepen their understandings of the theoretical rationales and practical applications of Reading Recovery.
This course covers advanced topics on various aspects of electrical engineering, and is a template for courses to be shared among multi- institutions via distance learning technologies.
