I
am replying to your memo dated September
27
regarding Education
TW
courses with an EDPR designation addressed to Stuart Richmond. EOPR courses are
offered in Field Programs, so your memo was forwarded to me for a response regarding these particular courses, as follows:
EOPR
410,411,412,413,416,417,418,419,420,421
It has been some time since we have offered undergraduate courses but we would like to reaffirm their TW status at this time. We are currently undergoing a
reorganization and it may be that we will need
to
use these courses as a result of this.
If you require any more information, please let me know.
My sincere apologies for missing your deadline. We have been severely understaffed recently due to unforeseen personal circumstances on top of cuts due to
budget restrictions, and unfortunately this item didn't get flagged appropriately in my "still
to
do" pile.
Sincerely,
Maureen

We would like to retain EDUe 339, 349 and 449. These courses are the practicum courses set up for
students interested in the co-op program. We have recently met with our co-op advisor and have plans
to
market this program with the students in our new BGS Education program.
Regarding
EDUe 367 and EDUC 451, we are in agreement to TW these courses for the interim.
Thank you.

Prerequisite: X
State number of hours for:

Course deletion:, __ _
FROM:
An
introduction to the study of literacy from an interdisciplinary perspective, one which
explores the role of literacy in social development, the economic and cultural values of
literacy, and the effects of literacy on cognitive processes. The particular concern of this
course is with the formal transmission of literacy in educational institutions. The course will
especially address the varying conceptions of literacy that educators have traditionally
valued. and the research that aims to explain, justify and prescribe educational practices
intended to increase literacy. This course is required for the certificate in literacy
instruction.
Prerequisite: 60 units
TO:
Literacy has a far-reaching impact on the creation of knowledge, the organization of society,
and the formation of institutions. This course explores leading policies, practices and
ideologies guiding literacy education for adults, youth, and children in formal and informal
education settings, in which traditional print literacy and digital literacy cultures intersect.
This
course is required for the certificate in literacy instruction.
Prerequisite: 60 units including 3 in EDUC
RATIONALE:
Changes to the course description are designed to reflect theoretical and practical shifts in
the core concepts of Literacy, Education and Culture. These three concepts remain
fundamental to the course, though
considered through the lenses of new forms of literacy,
education and culture brought about by globalization, changing policy and theoretical
landscapes, and above all, the rise of digitalliteracies. These relatively recent shifts are
changing the traditional relations between formal education, literacy and culture (s) and
thus the terrain and meaning of adult literacy, and literacy education in community
education settings. The course description is also designed to express a clear alignment
with
other core courses in the certificate of literacy instruction. The prerequisite inclusion of
3 units
in
EDUC is intended to ensure applicants are suitably prepared to enter the program
and engage with program content.

Contemporary Approaches to Literacy

Description:---:X-=--- __
Prerequisite: X
State
number of hours for:
Lect ( )
Sem (

Course deletion: __ _
FROM:
The focus of this course is adult literacy, understood as the basic ability to read and write.
The
course is organized around four discrete units: I) a general introduction to adult
literacy education;
2) models of adult literacy instruction in developing societies; 3) models
of adult literacy instruction in developed societies; and 4) the practicum proposal- the
selection, justification, and preparation to implement, in a particular, practical context, one
model of adult literacy instruction.
Co-requisite:
341
TO:
This course focuses on innovative approaches to literacy instruction in adult learning and
out-of-school settings. Topics to be explored include voice and agency, engagement,
assessment and meeting the needs of diverse learners through storytelling, writing, dance,
drama, music, visual and digital arts. This course is appropriate for people with an interest
in
literacy education who mayor may not have experience facilitating literacy learning. This
is a required course for the certificate
in
literacy instruction.
Prerequisite: 60
credit hours including 3 in EDUC
RATIONALE:
The practice of adult and community literacy education has evolved since the original
inception of this course, to include a broad range of contexts for learning, new literacy
theories,
and a diverse range of participants. The revised course description takes into
account
new pedagogies in the digital and creative arts, and new theoretical lenses in
literacy instruction that
view learning out of school as a vital site of practice, linked to
community-building
and collaborative knowledge creation. The conceptual link to the
practicum remains through an emphasis on curriculum and materials development, critical
reflection
on theory, and guided practice. The course description is also designed to
express a clear alignment with other core courses in the certificate of literacy instruction.
The
prerequisite inclusion of 3 units in EDUC is intended to ensure applicants are suitably
prepared to enter the program and engage
wi
th program content. The elimination of the co-
requisite with EDUC 341-3 is designed to provide students with greater program flexibility.
