8. CORRE LA VOZ FOR FALL QUARTER
Oakes 151A & B, "Community Literacies" (Corre la Voz)
"Community Literacies: Team Teaching, Curriculum Design, and Observation" is a service-learning course
offered Fall, Winter, and Spring through Oakes College. Students apply to become part of this program, which
requires considerable commitment, sensitivity, and maturity, as well as communication skills and willingness to
grow.
It consists of a 2-unit seminar, and a 3-unit field study; the field study is repeatable and students are
encouraged to stay for continuity with kids and programming; senior mentors demonstrating excellent leadership
may apply for paid positions as Program Assistants.
*****
CLV connects UCSC mentors with 5th graders in an after-school community, and revolves around creative,
collaborative digital projects (movie-making!). The course program focuses on intentional language use for
positive identity formation, appropriation of learning tools, and critical thinking. In training, seminar, and the field
study, we work on our own team-building as well as strategies for working with complex cultural contexts,
individual learning patterns, group dynamics, and students' developing interests and knowledge--including their

languages, of course. We work on:
team-teaching techniques (verbal and non-verbal communication), and leadership presence to be able
to serve communities;
lesson planning and creative curriculum development, articulation of instructions, bridging home and
school frames of knowledge
how to operate smoothly in multiple "registers" as well as model code-switching and cognate use
strategically;
goal-setting, supportive and healthy communication towards a non-violent, inclusive community, and
other mentoring practices;
and theoretical/analytical frameworks that help us think critically about "literacies" and learning;
how to work with ethical practices of research and evaluation.
The seminar is Mondays 5-7:00 pm at Oakes, and is required for all first-quarter mentors.
The field study (the Corre la Voz program) is T/Th 3:00-5:30, and provides homework support, fun games
and group activities designed (by mentors) to support critical, creative thinking and expression, and long-term
collaborative movie-making projects (fiction-based films in Fall-Winter, and non-fiction in Winter-Spring).
TB results are required on the first day of the quarter, to prepare for District registration and Livescan
(fingerprinting).
See attached for flyer and application.
