This Stanford Teacher Education Program syllabus is for a course (Education 289) that builds a sociocultural grounding in how literacies are enacted and supported both in secondary classrooms and in out-of-school settings. By the end of this course teacher candidates are expected to demonstrate an expansive understanding of contemporary literacies; their application in the classroom; and how to support students in their reading, writing, and communicative practices. Notable coursework includes conducting student interviews where teacher candidates learn about one of their student’s in- and out-of-school literacy practices, and performing a digital tool diagnostic on a new digital literacy tool of their choice.
