The purpose of this course is to deepen preservice teachers' understanding of literacy instruction and pedagogies through participation in a writing community and the facilitation of reading and writing conferences. Although conferences appear to be informal conversations to novice onlookers, they are in fact both highly principled assessment and teaching opportunities designed to move readers and writers along learning pathways. Used strategically, conferences can be powerful interventions that address students’ specific reading and writing needs. In this capstone literacy course candidates will apply their knowledge of literacy instruction to understand how to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of all learners. Field component included.
