    Literacy

    About

    Overview Therefore, we concern ourselves with how candidates and students read, write, speak, listen to, think about, interact with, and create the plethora of texts that exist in their worlds. In addition to valuing print-based texts, we examine the reading and writing of audio, visual, gestural, spatial, and body texts. In our teaching we build on candidates’ strengths, build curriculum at The City University of New York around candidates’ lives, communities and cultures, and incorporate the creativity and insights of candidates as they make sense of the world. Literacy pedagogies link literacy learning with creative problem solving, inquiry-based learning, learning-centered classrooms, and multiple ways of weaving meaning out of the world. In turn, we demonstrate these pedagogical practices as models for candidates to implement with their own students.Throughout the classes in this program, you will have the opportunities to explore key concepts within literacy including:constructions of literacy assessments that are diverse and multimodalhome-school-community connectionsutilizing literacies as tools to move people from passive objects to active subjectsthe ways in which literacies can reflect, promote, and sustain bias and discriminationthe ways in which literacies can sustain collaborations and support self-actualization and advocacy to improve our lives, the lives of others in our communities, and the lives of people in the worldthe role of school in the reproducing and changing of society I want to find another Master Course
