RED 4003 Foundations and Applications of Differentiated Instruction in Reading
A study of the foundation of Differentiated Instruction (DI) in reading as well as application of DI principles and methodologies. Based on the assumption that students differ in their learning styles, needs, strengths, and abilities, and that classroom activities should be adapted to meet these differences, this course will emphasize the role of the teacher in research-based reading instruction in relevant areas (e.g. phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, oral language). No field experience is required for this course. Prerequisite: Admission to the Education Program or permission from the Dean of the School of Education. Three semester hours credit.
