EDU 536 - Teaching writing Across the School Curriculum, K-12

The focus will be upon comprehensive writing instruction for learning across the curriculum at grade levels K-12. The current best practices in the teaching of writing to understand the role of writing instruction and assessment in promoting student learning and motivation will be studied. Graduate candidates will identify the interdependence of reading and writing development as similar recursive processes. The teaching of one process can affect the students’ expertise in the other process. Writers need to be readers for when they read, they have the opportunity to study the why, how, and what of the reading process. Candidates are expected to gain competency and growth through a variety of writing assignments during the course.
