GEDU 735 - Multiliteracies in Tchr Ed Unit(s): 3
The concept of “multiliteracies” refers to a broad and inclusive model of literacy that accounts for the complex and rapidly changing modes of meaning making within our diverse society. While at least eighty percent of students classified as having a disability have difficulty reading, all students can benefit from some kind of literacy support: learning to read words, vocabulary, and comprehending text, and/or understanding language in context, using a cell phone, operating a washing machine, recognizing an important street sign or bus stop, following a recipe, or reading a prescription. This course is designed to survey the current research on teacher education with an emphasis on best practices for addressing a wide range of student literacies. Supported higher education teaching experiences will be provided, offering career advancement towards adjunct and faculty positions.
