Conceptual Model
The conceptual model driving all undergraduate and
graduate programs in the school of Education is Learner-centered
Education
as implemented by a Knowledgeable Leader, an Effective
Leader
and Reflective Instructional Leader, and an Ethical and

Education
in a classroom and throughout school possess knowledge, skills and
abilities,
attitudes, behaviors, and values consistent with those of
Knowledgeable
Leaders, an Effective and Reflective Instructional

In utilizing this model, all programs of study promote the development of selected skills, competencies, dispositions, and a specialized knowledge base of information to ensure that all candidates are highly qualified educators at the completion of their respective program of study. Three (3) major performance standards are emphasized and assessed throughout each program. These three standards along with a brief descriptor are:
1. The Knowledgeable Leader
(a
knowledge base for an area of specialization; a disposition toward
continuous
acquisition of knowledge; and consistent integration of theory and
reserach
into educational practice)
2. The Effective and
Reflective
Instructional Leader (exemplary performance skills demonstrated
holistically;
a
reflective practitioner, intent upon genuine communication and
collaboration)
3. The Ethical and
Professional
Leader (continual, systematic personal and professional
development
directed toward
modeling best practice and dutiful service)
I. Descriptive Information
A.
Catalog Description: A course designed for the middle school
and high school teacher with emphasis upon
instructional decision making, incorporation of reading skills within
each
content area, program establishment, and
diagnostic skills.
B.
Rationale
for Catalog Description: Teaching Reading in Secondary
Schools
- Content Areas considers reading
and study skills affected by different academic disciplines as well as
the role of content area teachers and the
teaching of reading. The course is designed to teach students a variety
of teaching techniques and methods to help
the students learn how to meet individual needs in educational
settings,
make appropriate instructional decisions,
and improve reading comprehension of textbooks and trade books.
C.
Intended
Audience: For Spring semester MAT teacher candidates in
secondary
(7-12) social studies, biology,
mathematics, or English and/or M.Ed. in Reading candidates..

Students
With Special Needs: Under the Americans with Disabilities
Act
(ADA) and section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, individuals with disabilities are
guaranteed
certain protections and rights to equal access
programs and services. The Citadel is committed to providing

choice. Usually a 3X2.5" floppy disk (hard
plastic).
2. Portfolio: A 1 1/2- inch 3-ring binder
3. Portfolio protector covers. I recommend C-Line
because
they have the holes punched in a separate binding so
that I don't punch holes in my work.
H.
Required
Paperwork
Due to the nature of the field experiences required in this class, ALL
students who are not currently school district employees must have a

IV. Instructional Procedures:
MAT
Candidates'
application of theory will be of utmost importance for this course, and
time will be spent in various whole-class and small group discussions
and
activities. Candidates will reflect on principle features and
practices
of current, reform-based content area literacy instruction,
effectiveness
research findings, previous experience, and various in-class and
field-based
activities. The goal is to present and use a large variety of
instructional
techniques. Some will be hands-on, active and shared strategies,
and others will be more traditional--lecture, class discussion, and
small
group work. Technology (computers, overhead projector, VCR/TV
videotapes)
will be used as appropriate to supplement instruction. The
instructional
strategies are intended to appeal to the candidates' own particular
learning
preferences as well as to model a variety of techniques that will help
them meet the needs of diverse students, classrooms, and situations to
which and in which they will teach.
Students will be assigned a middle school or high school student and
will
tutor this student in a field-based instructional program in one or
several
content areas or students will teach classes in the GEAR UP program
based
on their areas of certification. (KL, IL) The content areas of
mathematics,
English, social studies, and science will be utilized to provide
students
the opportunity to instruct public school students in the content
area(s)
in which they will be certified. Students will align content
instruction
with reading strategies/activities so that a knowledge of teaching
reading
in the content areas is mastered. (IL) MAT Students will create
positive
and supportive learning (IL)using activities such as:
1. Interest Inventories
2. Study Questionnaires
3. Readability Formulas
4. Objectives (content objectives
with reading goals and objectives included)
5. Prereading Activities
(Previews,
surveys, anticipation guides, conceptual conflicts, K-W-L, webbing,
Semantic
mapping, structured overviews, questions, etc.)
6. Instructional Procedures
including
transdisciplinary lessons, directed reading activities, Powerpoint
presentations,
Electronic Portfolios, reading guides, QAR (Question-and-answer
relationships),
tradebooks, software programs for content areas and reading skills,
study
guides, and activities to enhance comprehension for a wide variety of
different
types of learners (including ESL students).
7. Assessments including a
different
type of assessment for each objective.
V. General Course Requirements:
A. Course Requirements:
1. Attendance is expected at all class
meetings.
2. All assignments must have a mastery level of
90% (A) or above.
3. All assignments are to be typed. A word
processor
or a computer with word processing abilities is
recommended.
4. Read and be prepared to discuss in class:
5. A field experience working with a student in
the certification content area.
6. Attendance at a Professional organization meeting
or cultural event relating to your content area ( English Department
meeting,
professional
English
organization
meeting, and/or friends of the
library presentation of English writer's and scholars for English
content students).
B. Statement on Plagiarism and Consequences:
Students are encouraged to share ideas, methods, and teaching techniques with each other. Time will be allowed in class to meet in collaborative groups to share and discuss ideas. Students are also encouraged to proofread each other's work. Although idea sharing is encouraged, students should not directly copy someone's words. Ideas should be adapted and adjusted to meet the individual needs of the students. Word-by-word copying and identical assignments are considered Honor Code Violations.
C. Field Experience Requirements:
Students are required to participate in a Field Experience for 15 hours. (KL, IL)
1. Tutor students in the 7th grade or above. Teachers are responsible for keeping a journal of the activities during the field experience. For the most part, the journal entries include the day, time, name of student, and a detailed description of the activities. A self-assessment/reflection of the effectiveness of the lessons and recommendations for the student and teacher should also be included in the journal.
2. Students are required to attend 1 meeting
of
a professional organization, departmental meeting at a local school,
and
1 artistic/cultural event such as the friends of the library
presentation
of English writer's and scholars or the poetry walks, etc offered
through
the Charleston Cultural Events. A lesson plan should be
developed
to incorporate the cultural arts into your classroom to encourage
appreciation
and participation by the public school students in the fine arts.
3. Candidates may teach classes in their content areas
at Schroder Middle School in Hollywood. The candidate will be
assigned a teacher and be given teaching assignments throughout the
semester.
The Field Experience Evaluation Packet
must also be completed with the appropriate assessments and signatures
provided. This class is a Live Text Class. The forms will
be made available online. Training will occur once the Live Text
is set up.

All assignments including field experiences are required to be
completed
at the "A" level. If the assignment is not on the A level of
quality,
it will be returned for revision and improvement. There is no grade
deduction
for returned assignments. If any assignment is not resubmitted or does
not reach the "A" level, the student will receive an "F" for the
course.
Resubmit assignments should be turned in for reevaluation no later than
2 weeks after the assignment has been returned for corrections.
The objective is to complete a unit of instruction of A quality work.
All assignments are to be kept in the portfolio.
