GED 534 - Literacy Assessment, Instruction, and Intervention in Reading

This course is designed to help licensed teachers deepen their understanding of assessment, instruction, and intervention in reading. Together, we will explore a wide variety of formative and summative literacy assessments, as well as examine the relationship between assessment and instruction/intervention. Using assessment data, students will determine students’ strengths and needs, and make recommendations for instruction and intervention. Participants must have access to an individual student for a minimum of 60 minutes per week in order to complete the requirements for the case study assignment. This course meets the Assessment requirement of the Specialized Literacy Professional Endorsement program at Saint Michael’s College.
