EDUX 7050. This course shows grade 3-5 teachers how to help students become effective and engaged readers of literature as part of the Envisioning Literature series based on the research of Dr. Judith Langer. The course centers on the belief that students have the innate skill to make sense of information they discover in a text—if they are presented with the opportunity and expectation of doing so, and are generously scaffolded by their teachers as their story worlds evolve through reading, writing, and talking about literature. Individual sessions deal with initiating and maintaining such a classroom community while dealing with numerous pragmatic issues, including high-stakes assessments and meeting the needs of students of many ability levels.
