Rationale for Request:

A rationale statement must address the following:

1.What led to the development of the proposal?

(Space below will expand as you type.)

EDU 532 is a course in which Elementary Education students gain further knowledge of reading beyond the required reading courses for their major. Some students take this course as part of their Reading Minor, in which they learn more deeply how to teach literacy strategies within the academic disciplines of math, science, social studies, and English. Other graduate students in Teacher Education and Professional Development or undergraduate students in the Elementary Education program take this course as an elective to further their knowledge of literacy, particularly how to teach students to comprehend text in the academic disciplines. Thus, the amount and complexity of work required make this course appropriate only for graduate and advanced undergraduate students

2.If this is a MCS (master course syllabus) Review, specifically what was reviewed and revised? (Answer this question ONLY if this is a MCS review. This is a MCS Review if any of the following have been changed/updated: course level or number, course objectives, course outline, evaluation, credit hours or distribution of hours, change to or from graduate level)

(Space below will expand as you type.)

The following items were reviewed and revised:
Bulletin Description
Prerequisites
Course Outline
Distribution of hours
Assignments
Bibliography
The objectives were not updated because the objectives stated are required by the State of Michigan.

3.What is the role of the course in the curriculum?

(Space below will expand as you type.)

This course provides information on comprehension instruction within the academic disciplines for undergraduate students in the reading minor. This course also serves as an elective for undergraduate elementary education students.

4.For whom is the course intended?

(Space below will expand as you type.)

Undergraduate reading minors are required to take this course; it is also a course that any undergraduate elementary education students can choose to take as an elective.
