Scope: This course extends students' understanding of the fundamentals of literacy, including reading, writing, listening,
speaking, and viewing. As teachers of young children (PK-3rd), students explore traditional and expanded notions of
text. The course emphasizes the literacy process, factors affecting that process, and principles and skills involved in
development of literacies.
Objectives:
All courses in the School of Education, Health, and Human Performance (EHHP) strive to ensure exemplary
learning and wellness opportunities for all individuals. A commitment to the Making the Teaching -
Learning Connection helps to achieve this goal:
Element: Understanding and valuing the learner
1. Demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the developmental process of literacy and all the factors involved
(NCATE 1, 2b & 3a‐e; NAEYC/EC 1, 4, 4a‐c; EHHP Standard II).
2. Assess relationships among students, societal contexts, and educational standards (EHHP 2, 5, 7; NCATE
1, 3B; ACEI 4; NAEYC 1, 4).
Element: Knowing what and how to teach, assess, and create an environment in which learning occurs
1. Analyze instructional models and strategies to promote literacy acquisition (EHHP 1-4; NCATE 3; ACEI
3.1- 2, 4; NAEYC 4).
2. Develop a literature review on an early literacy issue (EHHP 1-4; ACEI 1-5; NCATE 1, 3; NAEYC 1, 3).
Element: Understanding yourself as a professional
1. Evaluate self-perceptions about issues in teaching and learning (EHHP 1, 4, 5, 6, 7; NCATE 5; ACEI 5;
NAEYC 5).
2. Collaborate and cooperate with other course participants in evaluation of current research base (EHHP 1, 2,
3, 4; NCATE 5; ACEI 5; NAEYC 5).
ACEI: Association for Childhood Education International
NAEYC: National Association for the Education of Young Children
EHHP: College of Charleston School Education, Health, and Human Performance
NCATE: The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
The goal of the M.Ed. in Teaching, Learning and Advocacy program is to advance the knowledge of professionals
who are seeking to improve their effectiveness and who wish to serve as agents of change in their classrooms,
schools, and districts. This focus is on the needs of under-achieving children, especially those who live in
poverty. The program provides a base for all candidates to better:
1. Understand and apply advanced theories that increase use of successful instructional methods and ability to
work in diverse communities
2. Use and critique multiple forms of research and inquiry

2
3. Think systematically about their own practice, provide support for other professionals, and communicate
clearly with their students, other educators, and parents
4. Advocate for students and the profession
5. Understand the relationships among educational policies and practices, local context, and learners

Honor Code and
Academic
Integrity
Lying, cheating, attempted cheating, and plagiarism are violations of our Honor Code that, when
identified, are investigated. Each incident will be examined to determine the degree of deception
involved.
Incidents where the instructor determines the student’s actions are related more to a
misunderstanding will be handled by the instructor. A written intervention will be designed to
help prevent the student from repeating the error will be given to the student. The intervention,
submitted by form and signed both by the instructor and the student, will be forwarded to the
Dean of Students and placed in the student’s file.
Cases of suspected academic dishonesty will be reported directly by the instructor and/or others
having knowledge of the incident to the Dean of Students. A student found responsible by the
Honor Board for academic dishonesty will receive an F in the course, indicating failure of the
course due to academic dishonesty. This grade will appear on the student’s transcript for two
years after which the student may petition for the F to be expunged. The student may also be
placed on disciplinary probation, suspended (temporary removal) or expelled (permanent
removal) from the College by the Honor Board.
Students should be aware that unauthorized collaboration, such as working together without
permission is a form of cheating. Unless the instructor specifies that students can work together
on an assignment, quiz and/or test, no collaboration during the completion of the assignment is
permitted. Other forms of cheating include possessing or using an unauthorized study aid,
accessing information via a cell phone or computer, copying from others’ exams, fabricating
data, and giving unauthorized assistance.
Research conducted and/or papers written for other classes cannot be used in whole or in part for
any assignment in this class without obtaining prior permission from the instructor.
Students can find the complete Honor Code and all related processes in the Student Handbook at
http://studentaffairs.cofc.edu/honorsystem/studenthandbook/index.php
Incomplete Should circumstances prevent you from completing the requirements by the due date, you need
to make arrangements with the instructor to complete the work. An agreement should be in
writing. Each day past the due date will result in the loss of 10% of the assignment grade.
Submissions All assignments should be submitted through the class page on OAKS.
Please do not send assignments in the body of an email or attached to an email unless
specifically instructed to do so due to extenuating circumstances.
Writing You are expected to demonstrate written competency with students, parents, the faculty, and the
community. Please use resources to proofread and to edit your work. You are encouraged to
visit the Center for Student Learning for free, individualized help http://csl.cofc.edu/labs/writing-
lab/index.php
All written assignments prepared outside of class are to follow 6th
edition APA format. See page
10 for guidelines.

Annotated
Bibliography
November 5 (wed
of fall break
week)
Students have the option to keep an annotated bibliography, summary of 5 articles, or
chapters read. Students are encouraged to vary their submission sources (e.g., a mix of
chapters and journal articles).
Depending on the reading and your preference, you may summarize, assess, evaluate, or
use any combination of these to complete the annotated bibliography. It is important to
cite the readings using APA format. If you have not kept an annotated bibliography
previously, the following resource is helpful
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/.
An example of an Annotated Bibliography is posted on OAKS. Please limit responses
to 250 words per reading.

discussions,
reflection
.
This project requires you to select one child to study. You will study his/her literacy
development to determine the child’s instructional needs. You will collect and interpret
literacy assessment data for one child relevant to his or her predicted stage of
development. The child should be between 4 and 9 years old. After choosing your child
and observing your child’s initial literacy skills, we will discuss via a one on one
conference which assessments may be best to gather data.
After collecting initial data on the child’s literacy abilities, you will synthesize
information learned from readings and information gained in class through lectures and
readings in a reflection document as well as compose a brief review of literature
concerning the focus topic related to your focal child. You must include an APA citation
of at least 12 references to support your thinking, using no more than 1/3 of your sources
from the class readings. This assignment will help you interpret your work with your
focal child.
In your reflection, identify child’s literacy stage and compare it to the average literacy
development for a child of that age. What instructional implications does this
information provide? What instructional strategies might be provided?

Children’s
Digital Literacy
Project
December 2
The purpose of this project is to select a specific literacy skill for children who have
some experience with the skill but have not yet mastered it. This activity will give you
the opportunity to learn about different ways children can gain exposure and
opportunities to practice developing skills necessary to improve their literacy abilities.
You will create a multimodal activity for children that: 1) describes your chosen
skill/objective, 2) explains how the objective/skill works, 3) provides some fun ways to
interact and practice objective/skill, and last 4) builds upon children’s local or cultural
knowledge children. Be creative with your activity as it is meant for young children, but
consider the simplicity needed for a young child to be able to operate the activity
independently.
40
Professional
Presentation
In this assignment, you will take the lead. Select one article from the course readings
and prepare a presentation or discussion for the class that is 15-20 minutes in length.
Connect the article to the other readings from the week and feel free to make connections
based from other readings, research, or experiences pertaining to the article’s topic.
15
Professionalism
on-going
Prepare for the class, contribute, and ask questions. Be thoughtful and respectful. Class
attendance is expected. If you know that you will miss a class, please notify me via email as soon
as possible. Arriving to class more than 15 minutes late or prior to dismissal without notification
will be considered for loss of professionalism points. Students who miss more than 2 classes
will receive a one point deduction for each additional missed class session, and missing more
than 20% of the class sessions will fail the course.
Professionalism accounts for 7% of your total grade. 10

Classroom Environment
Emergency Dial 5611.
Technology The goal of class is to exchange ideas, discuss the readings, and learn from each other. Supportive
technology will enhance the lectures and perhaps your contributions as well. Therefore, any
technology that you bring to class should be used to support your learning. Please do not use it to
conduct personal communication in class.
Other Please do not hesitate to ask me for clarification on assignments or topics discussed in class. Help
me make this class as beneficial for you as possible and tell me what you need.
This syllabus guides this course. However, as you know, good instruction is differentiated to the
student. To meet your needs, dates may change or assignments may be altered. Changes may be
instructor or student initiated and will be announced in advance.
