Comprehensive Literacy State Development

The course is designed to show how to integrate technology to support evidence-based practices in literacy instruction. Participants will interact with three different phases. Each phase has a self-paced learning opportunity and a synchronous group activity. The phases focus on literacy instruction related to decoding and word recognition, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. The focus of each of those components will be focused on a different approach. In phase one, participants will learn evidence-based literacy strategies and tools for instruction while integrating technology. Phase two will focus on technology infused lessons and managements tools. Finally in phase 3, participants will learn collaborative lesson design and reflection.
