This course develops discipline-specific literacy specialist knowledge and practice in inclusive instruction, assessment, and intervention. With particular attention to English Language Learners/Multilingual Learners (ELLs/MLLs) and students with disabilities, candidates examine how oral language, language acquisition, cultural and linguistic assets, instructional opportunity, and disability-related needs and supports shape literacy development and the interpretation of literacy evidence. Candidates apply this knowledge to make defensible literacy-specialist decisions: distinguishing language difference, instructional need, and disability-related considerations; designing targeted literacy instruction and intervention; supporting IEP goals and accommodations; and using progress-monitoring evidence to refine instruction. The course aligns with the New York State Next Generation English Language Arts Learning Standards, including guidance for ELLs/MLLs and students with disabilities, and statewide literacy priorities informed by the science of reading.
