Descripción de las normas del curso
1. Este curso sigue el programa “Discipline-Based Dual-Language Model®”
del Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez, el mismo esta diseñado para
promover el desarrollo de cada estudiante como un profesional bilingüe.
Cada taller será facilitado en inglés y español, utilizando el modelo 50/50.
Esto significa que cada taller deberá ser conducido enteramente en el
lenguaje especificado. Los lenguajes serán alternados en cada taller para
asegurar que el curso se ofrece 50% en inglés y 50% en español. Para
mantener un balance, el modulo debe especificar que se utilizaran ambos
idiomas en el quinto taller, dividiendo el tiempo y las actividades
equitativamente entre ambos idiomas. Si un estudiante tiene dificultad en
hacer una pregunta en el idioma especificado, bien puede escoger el
idioma de preferencia para hacer la pregunta. Sin embargo, el facilitador
deberá contestar la misma en el idioma designado para ese taller. Esto
deberá ser una excepción a las reglas pues es importante que los
estudiantes utilicen el idioma designado. Esto no aplica a los cursos de
lenguaje que deben ser desarrollados en el idioma propio todo en ingles o
todo en español según aplique.
2. El curso es conducido en formato acelerado, eso requiere que los
estudiantes se preparen antes de cada taller de acuerdo al módulo. Cada
taller require un promedio de diez (10) horas de preparación y en
ocasiones require mas.
3. La asistencia a todos los talleres es obligatoria. El estudiante que se
ausente al taller deberá presentar una excusa razonable al facilitador. El
facilitador evaluará si la ausencia es justificada y decidirá como el
estudiante repondrá el trabajo perdido, de ser necesario. El facilitador
decidirá uno de los siguientes: permitirle al estudiante reponer el trabajo o
asignarle trabajo adicional en adición al trabajo a ser repuesto.
Toda tarea a ser completada antes de taller deberá ser entregada en la
fecha asignada. El facilitador ajustará la nota de las tareas repuestas.

Revised by Juanita Pérez, M.Ed. 7/07
4. Si un estudiante se ausenta a más de un taller el facilitador tendrá las
siguientes opciones:
a. Si es a dos talleres, el facilitador reducirá una nota por debajo
basado en la nota existente.
b. Si el estudiante se ausenta a tres talleres, el facilitador reducirá la
nota a dos por debajo de la nota existente.
5. La asistencia y participación en clase de actividades y presentaciones
orales es extremadamente importante pues no se pueden reponer. Si el
estudiante provee una excusa valida y verificable, el facilitador
determinara una actividad equivalente a evaluar que sustituya la misma.
Esta actividad deberá incluir el mismo contenido y componentes del
lenguaje como la presentación oral o actividad a ser repuesta.
En actividades de grupo el grupo será evaluado por su trabajo final. Sin
embargo, cada miembro de grupo deberá participar y cooperar para lograr
un trabajo de excelencia, pero recibirán una calificación individual.
6. Se espera que todo trabajo escrito sea de la autoría de cada estudiante y
no plagiado. Se debe entender que todo trabajo sometido esta citado
apropiadamente o parafraseado y citado dando atención al autor. Todo
estudiante debe ser el autor de su propio trabajo. Todo trabajo que sea
plagiado, copiado o presente trazos de otro será calificado con cero. (Vea
la política de honestidad académica)
7. Si el facilitador hace cambios al modulo o guía de estudio, deberá
discutirlos y entregar copia a los estudiantes por escrito al principio del
primer taller.
8. El facilitador establecerá los medios para contactar a los estudiantes
proveyendo su correo electrónico, teléfonos, y el horario disponibles.
9. EL uso de celulares está prohibido durante las sesiones de clase; de
haber una necesidad, deberá permanecer en vibración o en silencio.
10. La visita de niños y familiares no registrados en el curso no está permitida
en el salón de clases.

Filosofía y Metodología Educativa
Este curso está basado en la teoría educativa del
Constructivismo. Constructivismo es una filosofía de aprendizaje fundamentada
en la premisa, de que, reflexionando a través de nuestras experiencias,
podemos construir nuestro propio conocimiento sobre el mundo en el que
vivimos.
Cada uno de nosotros genera nuestras propias “reglas “y “métodos
mentales” que utilizamos para darle sentido a nuestras experiencias. Aprender,
por lo tanto, es simplemente el proceso de ajustar nuestros modelos mentales
para poder acomodar nuevas experiencias. Como facilitadores, nuestro enfoque
es el mantener una conexión entre los hechos y fomentar un nuevo
entendimiento en los estudiantes. También, intentamos adaptar nuestras
estrategias de enseñanza a las respuestas de nuestros estudiantes y motivar a
los mismos a analizar, interpretar y predecir información.
Existen varios principios para el constructivismo, entre los cuales están:
1. El aprendizaje es una búsqueda de significados. Por lo tanto, el
aprendizaje debe comenzar con situaciones en las cuales los estudiantes
estén buscando activamente construir un significado.
2. Significado requiere comprender todas las partes. Y, las partes deben
entenderse en el contexto del todo. Por lo tanto, el proceso de
aprendizaje se enfoca en los conceptos primarios, no en hechos aislados.
3. Para enseñar bien, debemos entender los modelos mentales que los
estudiantes utilizan para percibir el mundo y las presunciones que ellos
hacen para apoyar dichos modelos.
4. El propósito del aprendizaje, es para un individuo, el construir su propio
significado, no sólo memorizar las contestaciones “correctas” y repetir el
significado de otra persona. Como la educación es intrínsecamente
interdisciplinaria, la única forma válida para asegurar el aprendizaje es
hacer del avalúo parte esencial de dicho proceso, asegurando que el
mismo provea a los estudiantes con la información sobre la calidad de su
aprendizaje.
EDUC 323 Literature for Children 12
Revised by Juanita Pérez, M.Ed. 7/07
5. La evaluación debe servir como una herramienta de auto-análisis.
6. Proveer herramientas y ambientes que ayuden a los estudiantes a
interpretar las múltiples perspectivas que existen en el mundo.
7. El aprendizaje debe ser controlado internamente y analizado por el
estudiante.

Description of course policies
1. This course follows the Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez Dual-Language
Discipline-Based Immersion Model® designed to promote each student’s
development as a Dual Language Professional. Workshops will be facilitated in
English and Spanish, strictly using the 50/50 model. This means that each
workshop will be conducted entirely in the language specified. The language
used in the workshops will alternate to insure that 50% of the course will be
conducted in English and 50% in Spanish. To maintain this balance, the course
module may specify that both languages will be used during the fifth workshop,
dividing that workshop’s time and activities between the two languages. If
students have difficulty with asking a question in the target language in which the
activity is being conducted, students may choose to use their preferred language
for that particular question. However, the facilitator must answer in the language
assigned for that particular day. This should only be an exception as it is
important for students to use the assigned language. The 50/50 model does not
apply to language courses where the delivery of instruction must be conducted
in the language taught (Spanish or English only).
2. The course is conducted in an accelerated format and requires that students
prepare in advance for each workshop according to the course module. Each
workshop requires an average ten hours of preparation but could require
more.
3. Attendance at all class sessions is mandatory. A student that is absent to a
workshop must present the facilitator a reasonable excuse. The facilitator will
evaluate if the absence is justified and decide how the student will make up the
missing work, if applicable. The facilitator will decide on the following: allow the
EDUC 323 Literature for Children 19
Revised by Juanita Pérez, M.Ed. 7/07
student to make up the work, or allow the student to make up the work and
assign extra work to compensate for the missing class time.
4. Assignments required prior to the workshop must be completed and turned
in on the assigned date. The facilitator may decide to adjust the grade given for
late assignments and make-up work.
5.If a student is absent to more than one workshop the facilitator will have the
following options:
a. If a student misses two workshops, the facilitator may lower one
grade based on the students existing grade.
b. If the student misses three workshops, the facilitator may lower two
grades based on the students existing grade.
6. Student attendance and participation in oral presentations and special class
activities are extremely important as it is not possible to assure that they can be
made up. If the student provides a valid and verifiable excuse, the facilitator
may determine a substitute evaluation activity if he/she understands that an
equivalent activity is possible. This activity must include the same content and
language components as the oral presentation or special activity that was
missed.
7. In cooperative activities the group will be assessed for their final work.
However, each member will have to collaborate to assure the success of
the group and the assessment will be done collectively as well as
individually.
8. It is expected that all written work will be solely that of the student and should
not be plagiarized. That is, the student must be the author of all work submitted.
All quoted or paraphrased material must be properly cited, with credit given to its
author or publisher. It should be noted that plagiarized writings are easily
detectable and students should not risk losing credit for material that is clearly
not their own (See Academic Honesty Policy)
9. If the Facilitator makes changes to the study guide, such changes should
be discussed with and given to students in writing at the beginning of the first
EDUC 323 Literature for Children 20
Revised by Juanita Pérez, M.Ed. 7/07
workshop.
10. The facilitator will establish a means of contacting students by providing an
email address, phone number, hours to be contacted and days.
11. The use of cellular phones is prohibited during sessions; if there is a
need to have one, it must be on vibrate or silent mode during class session.
12. Children or family members that are not registered in the course are
not allowed to the classrooms.
13. All students are subject to the policies regarding behavior in the
university community established by the institution and in this course.

Teaching Philosophy and Methodology
This course is grounded in the learning theory of
Constructivism. Constructivism is a philosophy of learning founded on
the premise that, by reflecting on our experiences, we construct our
own understanding of the world in which we live.
Each of us generates our own “rules” and “mental models,” which we use
to make sense of our experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the process
EDUC 323 Literature for Children 21
Revised by Juanita Pérez, M.Ed. 7/07
of adjusting our mental models to accommodate new experiences. As
teachers, our focus is on making connections between facts and fostering
new understanding
in students. We will also attempt to tailor our teaching strategies to student
responses and encourage students to analyze, interpret and predict
information.
There are several guiding principles of constructivism:
1. Learning is a search for meaning. Therefore, learning must start with the
issues around which students are actively trying to construct meaning.
2. Meaning requires understanding wholes as well as parts. And parts must
be understood in the context of wholes. Therefore, the learning process
focuses on primary concepts, not isolated facts.
3. In order to teach well, we must understand the mental models that
students use to perceive the world and the assumptions they make to
support those models.
4. The purpose of learning is for an individual to construct his or her own
meaning, not just memorize the "right" answers and regurgitate someone
else's meaning. Since education is inherently interdisciplinary, the only
valuable way to measure learning is to make the assessment part of the
learning process, ensuring it provides students with information on the
quality of their learning.
5. Evaluation should serve as a self-analysis tool.
6. Provide tools and environments that help learners interpret the multiple
perspectives of the world.
7. Learning should be internally controlled and mediated by the learner.

THE ESSAY An essay is a literary composition that presents the writer’s ideas about a specific topic. The basic steps for writing an essay are:
• Thinking on the topic to be developed-If the theme is implied in the topic, it should be
read pointing out the key words. A good example about this process is making a good exercise comparing, contrasting, summarizing, explaining and/or relating the ideas to be sure there are no repetitions. The writer should guarantee the reader a good and clear message.
• Making an outline of the principal ideas-The ideas in mind should be specifically related with the main topic.
• It’s very important to incorporate an introductory paragraph which should be a general view of the topic.
• Writing ideas with specific details that will support them-Details will
support the main topic and at the end may help in the production of a good and relevant conclusion.
• Using transitional words will help to connect ideas from one paragraph to another and will help the reader to follow the flow of ideas in the essay.
• Reviewing the written document for grammar and spelling is a must. • Editing the document-corrections should be made through the whole
document.
