Gender, Literacy, and the K-12 Classroom
EDUC 6804, 3 semester hours, Section 501, Call No. 42130
Term E: June 9–July 3, 2008
Elizabeth Dutro
This class focuses on relations among gender, curriculum, and instruction in K–12 Language Arts classrooms. Gender has been and continues to be a “hot topic” in discussions of educational equity and achievement. The role of gender in students’ experiences in literacy classrooms is the subject of much concern and debate among teachers, administrators, policymakers, and the lay public and has implications for both policy and classroom practice. The purpose of this course is threefold: 1) to explore and critique the various conceptions of gender within the popular and scholarly publications that have influenced how gender is approached in literacy classrooms; 2) to support course participants in building a theoretical stance toward gender that supports equity, engagement, and achievement in the language arts classroom; 3) to encounter, discuss, and hone a range of teaching strategies that thoughtfully take into account gender identities and gender equity. This course fulfills core graduate or elective credit for elementary and secondary C&I master’s degree programs as well as other graduate programs in education.

Integrating the Visual Arts into the K-12 Curriculum
EDUC 6804, 3 semester hours, Section 601, Call No. 42133
Term F: July 7–August 1, 2008
Randy Cummings and Virginia Schick
Visual art is made to communicate ideas, feelings, and messages that are beyond words. The visual arts keep attention, motivate, provoke deep thought, and engage us intellectually as well as emotionally, ultimately expanding our perspectives. This course is an academically rigorous yet pleasurable mix of studio art experiences; readings, discussions, writings, museum visits, and technological experiences designed to assist the classroom teacher in creating and implementing a dynamic curriculum through the visual arts. An aesthetic approach to curriculum planning focuses on what expression is and how students can create the framework for their own evaluative processes. The artwork becomes the source for the analysis and encourages students to appreciate their own intuitive experiences. We shall be applying the widely respected Discipline-Based Art Education model to explore developing curriculum. The class will give teachers the tools and skills necessary to use the visual arts in all disciplines. The implications of this kind of instruction in terms of original thought have the potential to affect the outcomes for student learning in a variety of disciplines. Come join us for a journey to the creative side.

Recent Research in Children’s and Young Adult Literature
EDUC 6804, 3 semester hours, Section 603, Call No. 45332
Term F: July 7–18, 2008
Shelby Wolf
Revolves around the upcoming Handbook of Research on Children’s and Young Adult Literature (Wolf, Coats, Enciso, & Jenkins, in preparation). The field of literature for the young is admittedly widely dispersed and often marked by a lack of conversation among members of diverse disciplines. Scholars in English and literature tend toward a text-oriented approach that historically excluded the reader from view. Scholars in Education focus on the reader, but may well ignore the insights to be gained from the text being read. And scholars in Library and Information Science (LIS) are often absent from the intellectual worldview of either end of the text-reader continuum, despite the fact that their professional work is located precisely in the intersection between texts and young readers. Students will read and analyze drafts of the individual chapters of the handbook and discuss cross-cutting themes. This analysis will give students a preview into the work as well as an opportunity to help shape the final outcome.

Gear! presentations on some facet of MiRE. Past B!F!G! presentations have dealt with particular styles (e.g. rap, ambient music), groups/individual performers (U2, Eminem), and more general topics (the impact of video on pop music, Rock in Russia). Professor Brody is the co-author of a leading textbook on the history of rock music.

New Literature for the Middle and High School Band Director
IMUS 5093, 1 semester hour, Section 500, Call No. 45543
Term E: June 23–25, 2008
Matthew Roeder
This three-day intensive is designed to introduce secondary instrumental music directors to the latest in band repertoire for concert programming considerations. Most public school music teachers have very heavy and varied teaching duties. With responsibilities that can range from 7th grade ensembles to advanced high school groups, it is challenging indeed for teachers to remain current with new repertoire for all of their students. Participants will also explore resources, methods, and strategies that assist in selecting music for school bands at all levels (grades 1-5 repertoire). Additional topics will include age- or experience-appropriate works, creative and balanced programming, criteria for determining artistic and educational quality, and the function of repertoire within the instrumental music program. Each workshop participant will create a concert programming project for the upcoming school year.

Musical Experiences That Move!
IMUS 5093, 1 semester hour, Section 600, Call No. 43267

Elementary and middle school teachers can choose from a wide-range of movement experiences such as simple responses to sound, Dalcroze experiences, structured singing games, and folk dances from regional areas in the United States as well as from many cultures around the world. This workshop will provide examples of a broad range of movement experiences appropriate for K-8 instruction. Topics such as successful teaching processes, management strategies, and age-appropriate experiences will be addressed. Requirements will include preparation of lesson plan examples, visual aids, and a small group presentation.
