The format is: 6 credit hours for completion of the course: 3 hours’ virtual class time and 3 hours of independent work using the Google Classroom set up for the course. Each student will receive a new set of picture books. In addition, components will include:
- The Open Questioning Mindset in teaching and literacy that was introduced in Level I will be incorporated into all the components of Level II.
- Philosophy of Education and Literacy Education, review of current sources, and personal philosophy development. Participants will use the Philosophy of Education they wrote in Level I to craft a Philosophy of Literacy Development and Education for use in their practice.
- The opportunity to share, review and critique your environment and practice. How has it improved over time and where could you do more?
- How is children’s literature part of your practice? How has it changed over time and what are the next steps to include enhancements and improvements?
