EDUC 382 - Reframing Literacy for the 21st Century

Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)
This course attends to the ways in which a traditional conception of literacy as based solely on reading and writing can be broadened to address the strengths and needs of diverse students and their multiple literacy practices in the twenty-first century.  Particular attention is given to critical literacy and multiliteracies, with consideration for the ways in which different literacies (e.g., media literacies, digital literacies, multimodalities) can conflict or intersect with school-sanctioned literacy practices. Students understand literacy concepts in context through regular collaborations with high school students. In addition to assigned course readings, students participate in a book club and compare different literacy theories of their choice from various scholarly traditions.  The Department.

Prerequisite(s): EDUC 235  or permission of the instructor.
