Complete Chart and 250 Summary on Literacy (TIHER) Academic Help

I’m stuck on a Philosophy question and need an explanation.

Literacy strategies are integrated within curricula to make aspects of the discipline accessible and meaningful. Such strategies may integrate language, reading, and writing while also developing literacy skills such as vocabulary knowledge and reading fluency. Teachers of secondary readers know various ways to adapt strategies for individual readers.

Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience.

In the secondary education setting, work with your mentor teacher to observe and interview two content area teachers at your school. During the observation, look for specific literacy practices that are being used to support all students. What specific strategies do the teachers use to develop academic vocabulary, support comprehension of topics, and incorporate writing?

Ask the following questions during your interview as well as any other appropriate questions you may want to add. Document the responses as well as any notes.

• What are your thoughts about literacy in your classroom?
• What is one issue that you see with literacy in your department, school, or district?
• What resources are available within your district to offer intervention and support for struggling readers?
• What types of strategies and interventions do you use to support English language learners, students with reading disabilities (including dyslexia), and struggling readers?
• How often have you attended professional development that supports your ability to integrate literacy into your content area?
• Does your site have a schoolwide literacy plan? What are the pros and cons of a schoolwide literacy plan?
• How do you use technology to integrate literacy into your lessons?

What information did you learn during your interview about literacy plans and supports that you will apply to your future professional practice?

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

Create a chart to represent your observations of the two content teachers based on specific literacy practices that are being used to support all students in the classroom. At the bottom of the chart, write a 250-500 word reflection of the observations and interviews.

Submit the chart as well as the observation and interview notes to the LMS.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
