Course Syllabus Task
Reading and Writing in the
Elementary Grades
You are an assistant professor at the University of
Calimichissippi and you have been assigned by your Department Chair the
task of designing a new 3-credit course on reading and writing in the
elementary grades that takes advantage of your expertise with new
literacies. You are expected to provide students with research based
preparation experiences in how to teach foundational reading skills
that have always been important as well as the new literacies you
believe are required to effectively read and write with Internet
technologies. You can assume that these students are either juniors or
seniors and have had course work in assessment and individual
differences in learning, as well as regular field experiences in the
schools. They are talented students with GPA’s above 3.0 (the minimum
level for acceptance into the Elementary Education program). Your
students will be in classrooms beginning with the fourth week of
classes, for one day each week. You are expected to integrate the CTELL
cases into your syllabus. You are also expected to run at least a
portion of your course online, in a WebCT or similar environment.
Present your Department Chair with the following:
- A syllabus for a 3 credit, 15 week course.
- The textbook selected and a rationale for this choice (or a
packet of readings that replaces the textbook)
- Selected readings beyond the textbook, if you choose to use
one.
- Assignments and a brief description of weekly, in-class
activities.
- Assessment procedures for assigning student grades.
- A schedule.
