EDRE 550 : Literacy Practicum

Candidates will design and implement field-based literacy practicum designed to bridge theory and practice in authentic educational settings. The practicum experience will involve sustained engagement with selected students over time to support the achievement of clearly defined literacy goals. A detailed practicum proposal must be developed in consultation with the professor and approved by faculty prior to implementation. The proposal will outline objectives, include a review of current literature, explanation of methods, instructional strategies, assessment tools, and expected outcomes. Documentation of proposal, implementation of plan and analysis of progress should be included in a final paper. A professional presentation and submission of a final paper to faculty is required for successful completion of the practicum.
