Academic
Work
Academic work submitted by the individual
(such as papers, assignments, reports, tests) shall be the student’s own work
or appropriately attributed, in part or in whole, to its correct source.
Submission of commercially prepared (or group prepared) materials as if they
are one’s own work is unacceptable.
Aiding
Honesty in Others
The individual will encourage honesty in
others by refraining from providing materials or information to another person
with knowledge that these materials or information will be used improperly.
Violations
of these academic standards will result in the assignment of a failing grade
and subsequent loss of credit for the course.
This course is designed
to be an informational course with application to work or work-related settings. The reading and writing strategies were designed
to be used in the context of teaching content such as mathematics, science,
physical education, and history.
Students
will demonstrate proficiency in the following performance standards:
1.
Identifying
various reading skills.
2.
Identifying and
discussing factors that contribute to reading failure.
3.
Describing and
implementing approaches to improve comprehension skills.
4.
Identifying
methods for vocabulary development.
5.
Developing
reasonable instructional goals for the content reader.
6.
Stressing the
acquisition of reading and writing skills across the curriculum.
7.
Summarizing
research for the teaching of reading and writing at the secondary level.
8.
Providing methods
for the teaching of skills using technology resources.
9.
Using specific
methods for dealing with reading and writing problems.
The course Reading & Writing in Content Area has been divided into four chapters.
This course will provide information on such issues as recognizing reading
difficulties, assessing textbooks, and the integration of reading strategies
within a content area. The strategies taught are aligned with the Praxis
Reading Across the Curriculum test guide and the Reading in the Content Area
national standards.
The first chapter is an overview of
theories of teaching adolescents and language acquisition. The second, third,
and fourth chapters discuss current theory regarding the teaching of reading,
including phonics, fluency, and motivation. In addition to the theory, these
chapters challenge the learner to use specific teaching reading strategies.
Strategies are given with step-by-step directions for a teacher to integrate
into curriculum the next day.
These four chapters should give you
an understanding of the various strategies with step-by-step teaching techniques
to successfully integrate reading into your daily content teaching.
After you have completed each
chapter of the course, an examination will be used to evaluate your knowledge
and ability to apply what you’ve learned.
As a student you will be
expected to:
·
Complete all four information sections showing a
competent understanding of the material presented in each section.
·
Complete all four section examinations, showing a
competent understanding of the material presented. You
must obtain an overall score of 70%
or higher, with no individual exam score below 50%, to pass this course. *Please note: Minimum exam score
requirements may vary by college or university; therefore, you should refer to
your course addendum to determine what your minimum exam score requirements
are.
·
Complete a review
of any section on which your examination score was below 50%.
·
Retake any
examination, after completing an information review, to increase that
examination score to a minimum of 50%, making sure to also be achieving an
overall exam score of a minimum 70% (maximum of three attempts). *Please note: Minimum exam score requirements may vary by
college or university; therefore, you should refer to your course addendum to
determine what your minimum exam score requirements are.
·
Complete a course
evaluation form at the end of the course.
Chapter 1: Reading
& Writing as a Process
This chapter discusses theorists such as Piaget and
how their research is applicable to teaching adolescents. This chapter will
also provide an overview of language acquisition theories. The “big picture” of
integrating reading into content areas is the main focus.
Chapter 2: Reading/Writing
Environment, Materials, Instruction
This chapter
discusses motivational theory and techniques and connecting reading to
students’ lives. The main focus of this chapter is on strategies such as
Inquiry Questions, Questioning the Author, Editor Interview, and Socratic
Seminars.
Chapter 3:
Reading/Writing Comprehension
This chapter
discusses characteristics of good readers. The main focus of this chapter is on
strategies such as an Anticipation Guide, DRT, KWL, DIA, and SQ3R.
Chapter 4:
Vocabulary & Assessment
This chapter
discusses the importance of teaching vocabulary within the context of a content
area. The main focus of this chapter is on Word Maps, Semantic Maps, Discussion
Webs, RAFT, Concept Maps and the Frayer Model.
This chapter also discusses informal assessment of readers and of
curriculum. Other areas of focus for this chapter include the use of Reading
Inventories, GRI, and Cloze.
At the end of
each chapter, you will be expected to complete an examination designed to
assess your knowledge. You may take these exams a total of three times. Your last score
will save, not the highest score. After
your third attempt, each examination will lock and not allow further
access. Your final grade for the course
will be determined by calculating an average score of all exams. This score will be printed on your final
certificate. As
this is a self-paced computerized instruction program, you may review course
information as often as necessary. You will not be able to exit any
examinations until you have answered all questions. If you try to exit the exam
before you complete all questions, your information will be lost. You are
expected to complete the entire exam in one sitting.
