EDU 5321 - Tier II Intervention for Intermediate Readers: Higher Steps Semester Practicum (Singleton)

This credit/no credit field practicum is designed to help pre-service and practicing educators develop an understanding of the theory and practice of intervention for intermediate readers reading below grade level. The course is open to university students who are concurrently registered for or have already taken ED PS 5321. Educators will extend their knowledge of topics including: assisted reading of complex text, word study, fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and textual scaffolding. Educators will be expected to use their knowledge of these topics to provide ongoing one-on-one assessment and intervention for a student, and will receive formal and informal coaching, observation, and feedback throughout the practicum. Field hours are expected to be completed as part of this class.
