SED408: Integrated Literacy in History
A secondary education course at Arizona Christian University.
Course Description
This course addresses the changes that the College and Career Readiness Standards are bringing to education in Arizona. With these standards, students are expected to "read and comprehend complex … informational texts independently and proficiently." In various subject areas they are to "make logical inferences from it [the text]: site specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including the validity of the reasoning as well as the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence." All teachers including teachers of science, math, and social studies are expected to teach these standards to their students. Integrated Literacy in History will provide the knowledge and strategies students need to do this in a history classroom.
