Certification course for elementary candidates.  Candidates integrate the Five Essential Elements of Reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. teaching students to break the alphabetic code and developing fluent readers and writers. Candidates will learn how readers and writers construct meaning and how teachers organize for literacy instruction in READ 515. Principles of the Conceptual Framework of the Graduate Program of Centenary College, attributes of the Louisiana COMPASS Framework are embedded into the objectives of this course, as appropriate.

 

            Candidates will learn to write and implement lesson plans with the primary focus on comprehension. They will be expected to incorporate technology into their lessons. They will be graded on their ability to implement successful lessons including effective management of children, and appropriate instruction for children with special reading problems, as well as diverse learners. Feedback on lesson plans prior to teaching, implementation of lesson plans, self-reflections on their own teaching, and feedback from the instructor after teaching will occur for each lesson before the next one is taught with the expectation that progressive improvement will occur. If the alternative certification candidate is employed, the lessons may be taught at his/her school of employment; if not, the candidate will be placed in an elementary setting.

 

Additional Description:

The primary objective of this course is to prepare candidates to help students comprehend what they decode, which is one of the five elements of reading.. That is, all lesson plans prepared and implemented will focus primarily upon comprehension. Candidates will be required to prepare, implement to the college class and to children in the schools, record on DVD,YouTube, or anyway for the teacher to exhibit connection to the following Five Essential Elements of Reading :phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension measured by the signature assessments lesson plan for this class. Additionally, the focus should be given for reinforcement with connection to practice.

Course Outcomes and Objectives:

Outcome/

Objective

INTASC

Principles

Conceptual Framework Themes

LCET

Candidates will come to believe that there is extraordinary power in a small number of comprehension strategies—monitoring comprehension, activating prior knowledge, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, determining importance, and summarizing and synthesizing  as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

3,4,5,7,8,9

Themes:

K, VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that although many children learn to read solely through the act of reading itself, and can be taught to read through an incidental, “intuitive approach,” this approach is simply not adequate for many other children as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,3,8,9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that we can think about our thinking, and children can be taught the language of thought as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,5,9

Themes:

VP, COM, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that some of our deepest pleasure as readers comes from slowing our thought processes so that we can contemplate them. as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD

Principle

9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will learn that “think-alouds” are potent instructional tactics and allow students to comprehend deeply, and students can and will rise to the challenge; however, many think-alouds over a long period are necessary to achieve this as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

CoK, VP, COM, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that comprehension strategy instruction is not a complete reading program, and is not an end in itself as evidenced by class discussion and lesson plans.

Principles

8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain I, III,

Candidates will come to believe in the ability of children, including those in high-poverty schools, to learn to read effectively and with enjoyment as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 9, 10

Themes:

VP, I, CC

Domain III

Candidates will understand that reading is an action sport, and that the action takes place in our minds as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD

Principle

9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain

III

Candidates will understand that comprehension strategy instruction needs to be built on a gradual release of responsibility from teacher to student as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 3,7,8, 9

Theme:

VP, CC

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that there are seven principal comprehension strategies that good readers use when they read—monitoring comprehension, activating prior knowledge, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, determining importance, and summarizing and synthesizing as well as Five Essential Elements of Reading: phonemic awareness, phonics fluency, ,vocabulary and comprehension as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

4,5,7,8,9

Themes:

K, VP

Domains I, III

Candidates will  understand that children do not learn in a lock-step linear fashion, but rather they should learn letters, sounds, words, sentences, and how to comprehend what they read all simultaneously as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain I11

Candidates will understand that asking children an endless string of comprehension questions, or asking them to retell what they read instead of to share their thinking often fails to teach them how to better understand what they read as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that instruction that actively engages students in asking questions, summarizing and synthesizing text, and identifying important ideas improves comprehension as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

K, VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that although comprehension strategy instruction is an important step in the right direction, it is not a panacea, and by itself is not enough to develop avid, proficient readers. It is also critical to provide explicit instruction in decoding, fluency, word analysis, text structures, and vocabulary for children learning to read as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

7,8, 9

Themes:

K, VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that many packaged programs limit teachers’ decision-making about their students, and there is a misconception that rigid adherence to a scripted, one-size-fits-all program leads to better performance and higher achievement in the guise of improved test scores as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains III,

Candidates will understand that kids who think well test well as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD .

Principles

1,2,5,6,9

Theme:

I

Domain 111

Candidates will understand that the vast majority of our students can and do think at high levels, but some do not have the ability to speak and write eloquently about that thinking. Language about thought can be taught. Our goal is to help them develop the language to define and describe their thinking as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that students should be able to “turn up or turn down the volume” on a strategy during reading. For example, when reading expository text, students may “turn up” determining importance and “turn down” inferences and visualization as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

5,8

Theme:

VP

Domain III

Candidates will understand that children should be provided lots of time to read and lots of time to talk about their reading.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP ,I,CC

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that blocks of time for independent reading in the classroom should be gradually increased as the year progresses as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,3,7,8,9

Theme:

VP

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that it is inappropriate and ineffective to “basalize” comprehension strategy instruction as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

 

Theme:

Domains I, III,

 

 

 

 

Instructional Strategies:

 

This is primarily an online class and is based in candidates reading and practice of strategies used for this course and methods to teach reading comprehension, followed by candidates’ implementation of those strategies with the college class and with elementary school children. Candidates will teach two lessons to the college class and one lessons to elementary children. Candidates will be required to submit lesson plans, DVD, reflections and evaluations of lessons taught in schools. SKYPE, CANVAS, UDL  as well as LiveText and emails will be used throughout the course to provide additional information and to clarify communication.

 

Diversity:

 

The students with whom candidates will be working come from very diverse backgrounds in terms of cultural, academic, and social experiences and expectations. The students are also functioning at varying developmental levels of literacy, cognition, and behavior. Candidates will be expected to go beyond acknowledgment and acceptance of cultural diversity by celebrating it. They will also be expected to embrace the philosophy that all children can learn when developmental factors are recognized, respected, and accommodated. Candidates’ lesson preparation and implementation should reflect these understandings.Centenary’s Policy on Diversity

Centenary College of Louisiana values human diversity in all its richly complex and multi-faceted forms, whether expressed through race and ethnicity, culture, political and social views, religious and spiritual beliefs, language and geographic characteristics, gender, gender identities and sexual orientations, learning and physical abilities, age, and social or economic classes.

Objective

INTASC

Principles

Conceptual Framework Themes

LCET

Candidates will come to believe that there is extraordinary power in a small number of comprehension strategies—monitoring comprehension, activating prior knowledge, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, determining importance, and summarizing and synthesizing  as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

3,4,5,7,8,9

Themes:

K, VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that although many children learn to read solely through the act of reading itself, and can be taught to read through an incidental, “intuitive approach,” this approach is simply not adequate for many other children as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,3,8,9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that we can think about our thinking, and children can be taught the language of thought as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,5,9

Themes:

VP, COM, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that some of our deepest pleasure as readers comes from slowing our thought processes so that we can contemplate them. as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD

Principle

9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will learn that “think-alouds” are potent instructional tactics and allow students to comprehend deeply, and students can and will rise to the challenge; however, many think-alouds over a long period are necessary to achieve this as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

CoK, VP, COM, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that comprehension strategy instruction is not a complete reading program, and is not an end in itself as evidenced by class discussion and lesson plans.

Principles

Themes:

VP, I

Domain I, III,

Candidates will come to believe in the ability of children, including those in high-poverty schools, to learn to read effectively and with enjoyment as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 9, 10

Themes:

Principles

1, 3,7,8, 9

Theme:

VP, CC

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that there are seven principal comprehension strategies that good readers use when they read—monitoring comprehension, activating prior knowledge, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, determining importance, and summarizing and synthesizing as well as Five Essential Elements of Reading: phonemic awareness, phonics fluency, ,vocabulary and comprehension as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

4,5,7,8,9

Themes:

K, VP

Domains I, III

Candidates will  understand that children do not learn in a lock-step linear fashion, but rather they should learn letters, sounds, words, sentences, and how to comprehend what they read all simultaneously as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain I11

Candidates will understand that asking children an endless string of comprehension questions, or asking them to retell what they read instead of to share their thinking often fails to teach them how to better understand what they read as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Themes:

K, VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that although comprehension strategy instruction is an important step in the right direction, it is not a panacea, and by itself is not enough to develop avid, proficient readers. It is also critical to provide explicit instruction in decoding, fluency, word analysis, text structures, and vocabulary for children learning to read as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

7,8, 9

Themes:

K, VP, I

Domains I, III,

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that students should be able to “turn up or turn down the volume” on a strategy during reading.

Principles

5,8

Theme:

Instructional Strategies:

 

This is primarily an online class and is based in candidates reading and practice of strategies used for this course and methods to teach reading comprehension, followed by candidates’ implementation of those strategies with the college class and with elementary school children. Candidates will teach two lessons to the college class and one lessons to elementary children. Candidates will be required to submit lesson plans, DVD, reflections and evaluations of lessons taught in schools. SKYPE, CANVAS, UDL  as well as LiveText and emails will be used throughout the course to provide additional information and to clarify communication.

 

Diversity:

 

The students with whom candidates will be working come from very diverse backgrounds in terms of cultural, academic, and social experiences and expectations. The students are also functioning at varying developmental levels of literacy, cognition, and behavior. Candidates will be expected to go beyond acknowledgment and acceptance of cultural diversity by celebrating it. They will also be expected to embrace the philosophy that all children can learn when developmental factors are recognized, respected, and accommodated. Candidates’ lesson preparation and implementation should reflect these understandings.Centenary’s Policy on Diversity

Centenary College of Louisiana values human diversity in all its richly complex and multi-faceted forms, whether expressed through race and ethnicity, culture, political and social views, religious and spiritual beliefs, language and geographic characteristics, gender, gender identities and sexual orientations, learning and physical abilities, age, and social or economic classes.

Principles

Conceptual Framework Themes

LCET

Candidates will come to believe that there is extraordinary power in a small number of comprehension strategies—monitoring comprehension, activating prior knowledge, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, determining importance, and summarizing and synthesizing  as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

3,4,5,7,8,9

Themes:

K, VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that although many children learn to read solely through the act of reading itself, and can be taught to read through an incidental, “intuitive approach,” this approach is simply not adequate for many other children as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,3,8,9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that we can think about our thinking, and children can be taught the language of thought as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1,2,5,9

Themes:

VP, COM, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that some of our deepest pleasure as readers comes from slowing our thought processes so that we can contemplate them. as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD

Principle

9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will learn that “think-alouds” are potent instructional tactics and allow students to comprehend deeply, and students can and will rise to the challenge; however, many think-alouds over a long period are necessary to achieve this as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

CoK, VP, COM, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that comprehension strategy instruction is not a complete reading program, and is not an end in itself as evidenced by class discussion and lesson plans.

Principles

Principles

1, 3,7,8, 9

Theme:

VP, CC

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that there are seven principal comprehension strategies that good readers use when they read—monitoring comprehension, activating prior knowledge, questioning, visualizing, making inferences, determining importance, and summarizing and synthesizing as well as Five Essential Elements of Reading: phonemic awareness, phonics fluency, ,vocabulary and comprehension as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

4,5,7,8,9

Themes:

K, VP

Domains I, III

Candidates will  understand that children do not learn in a lock-step linear fashion, but rather they should learn letters, sounds, words, sentences, and how to comprehend what they read all simultaneously as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domain I11

Candidates will understand that asking children an endless string of comprehension questions, or asking them to retell what they read instead of to share their thinking often fails to teach them how to better understand what they read as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that instruction that actively engages students in asking questions, summarizing and synthesizing text, and identifying important ideas improves comprehension as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Themes:

K, VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that although comprehension strategy instruction is an important step in the right direction, it is not a panacea, and by itself is not enough to develop avid, proficient readers. It is also critical to provide explicit instruction in decoding, fluency, word analysis, text structures, and vocabulary for children learning to read as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

7,8, 9

Themes:

K, VP, I

Domains I, III,

Candidates will understand that many packaged programs limit teachers’ decision-making about their students, and there is a misconception that rigid adherence to a scripted, one-size-fits-all program leads to better performance and higher achievement in the guise of improved test scores as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Candidates will understand that kids who think well test well as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD .

Principles

1,2,5,6,9

Theme:

I

Domain 111

Candidates will understand that the vast majority of our students can and do think at high levels, but some do not have the ability to speak and write eloquently about that thinking. Language about thought can be taught. Our goal is to help them develop the language to define and describe their thinking as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9

Themes:

VP, CC, I

Domains I, III

Candidates will understand that students should be able to “turn up or turn down the volume” on a strategy during reading. For example, when reading expository text, students may “turn up” determining importance and “turn down” inferences and visualization as evidenced by  lesson plans; class mock lessons, class discussions and DVD.

Principles

5,8

Theme:

VP

Domain III

Candidates will understand that children should be provided lots of time to read and lots of time to talk about their reading.

Principles

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Instructional Strategies:

 

This is primarily an online class and is based in candidates reading and practice of strategies used for this course and methods to teach reading comprehension, followed by candidates’ implementation of those strategies with the college class and with elementary school children. Candidates will teach two lessons to the college class and one lessons to elementary children. Candidates will be required to submit lesson plans, DVD, reflections and evaluations of lessons taught in schools. SKYPE, CANVAS, UDL  as well as LiveText and emails will be used throughout the course to provide additional information and to clarify communication.

 

Diversity:

 

The students with whom candidates will be working come from very diverse backgrounds in terms of cultural, academic, and social experiences and expectations. The students are also functioning at varying developmental levels of literacy, cognition, and behavior. Candidates will be expected to go beyond acknowledgment and acceptance of cultural diversity by celebrating it. They will also be expected to embrace the philosophy that all children can learn when developmental factors are recognized, respected, and accommodated. Candidates’ lesson preparation and implementation should reflect these understandings.Centenary’s Policy on Diversity
