EDIS 3314 - Behavior Interventions and Classroom Management

Provides students with the knowledge and skills needed to assess progress in literacy, design appropriate accommodations to maximize literacy and language acquisition for diverse students, and be knowledgeable of the many factors contributing to the evolution of early language acquisition and emergent reading and writing development. The development of literacy skills and strategies, procedures for intervention, and the reading process for beginning, nearly fluent and fluent readers, as well as striving readers, will extend literacy methods from the PreK level through the middle grades. These methods will include past and current research, appropriate materials, effective questioning techniques and instructional strategies in teaching emergent to derivational readers. This study supports International Reading Association Standard 1 - Foundational Knowledge, Standard 2 - Instructional Strategies and Curriculum Materials, Standard 3 - Assessment, Diagnosis, and Evaluation, and Standard 4 - Creating a Literate Environment. 10 field/clinical hours required.
