TEP-5310C: Enhancing English Language Development with Literature

This course is intended to explore the kinds of stories and perspectives that are introduced to children. What messages do they receive and as adults what can we do about that information? For the teachers in the course we will explore children’s literature that can enhance all students’ access to the core curriculum, particularly English Learners. Candidates will practice using children’s literature to develop the thinking, reading, and speaking skills of English Language Development students. Part of this practice will include how to use literature to advance students’ thinking about issues of prejudice, fairness, and equity. We will learn to evaluate a wide variety of children’s literature in terms of its appropriateness and accessibility for all students. We will explore how to enhance the literature collection in our library as well as working together to support the Horace Mann Upstanders Award.
