Reading and Literacy Standards Course Matrix
In the matrix below, denote the candidates’ opportunity to learn, apply, and be assessed on the competencies listed. The required course names and numbers should go across the top of the matrix, replacing the “Course Title and Number” text below. For each competency, indicate – using an I, P, or A – when the program/candidate introduces (I), practices (P), and assesses (A) each competency. Notations may occur under more than one course heading. Each notation should link to a specific place in the syllabus within that course that demonstrates that this is occurring. Please identify only the best example(s), up to four (4) for each I, P, and A.
