For example, your assignment to learn and administer the QRI will fit into the Assessment Strand. Our discussion of using parent classroom volunteers to support struggling readers will fit into the Parent and Community Involvement Strand. Students are to attend and participate in all classes and practicum experiences. Please turn cell phones off during class. If there is an extenuating reason for having a phone on during class, please visit with me.
Students are to also participate through preparation for class discussions and activities.
When readings will be assigned, students are expected to read the material so that application of that material can serve as the basis for class discussion. Those who are not prepared deprive classmates of additional informed perspectives. There will be a textbook chapter assigned for discussion most days. Some of those days you will take a one-page test on the chapter information. Begin with the word lists and then administer the reading passages.
