Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): RDG 3111

Prerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): RDG 3222, RDG 3333, RDG 3335

Description: In this course, the focus is on working one-on-one with a K-6 student in a field setting to collect, examine, and interpret that student’s assessment data in order to provide data-based instruction in conjunction with standards. Working with one student to practice giving assessments, planning, and delivering literacy instruction based on student strengths and weaknesses provides the opportunity for an in-depth understanding of the teach-assess-adjust cycle. Collaborative work with peers and other professionals assists with skill development in aligning assessment data and literacy instruction with content.
